Consumerism, this principle is to the effect that buyers in markets purchase

goods associated with positive responsible environmental and social processes.

All over the world consumers play a very important role in the achievement of
sustainable development goals including the protection of the environment,
this is due to the ability of a consumer to choose between ungreen and not eco
friendly products and services or between green and eco-friendly product and
services.Consumption of consumers has an impact on the world and this
means that to ensure a safe environment, people understand the footprint of
the products that they consume how they are made and how they will be
disposed off, in understanding this concept, it forms an ethical principle that
must therefore be upheld in order to ensure the sanctity and safety of the
environment In ensuring the sanctity and safety of the environment, the
principle that we must buy goods associated with positive responsible
environmental purposes must be upheld. This principle can be explained in
away that goods that are product of environmental degradation must not be
purchased for example Charcoal that is mad efrom the cutting of trees must
not be brought by consumers in order to help preserve the environment and
ensure its safety. With consumerism as an ethical principle, it is upheld by
buying ethically made products that support and protect the environment
including animals while boycotting products from manufacturers that exploit
workers and such products are also tested on animals or damage the
environment. Examples of ethical consumerism may include buying of an
electric car over a fuel powered car given the fact that fuel powered cars
produce fume that eventually leads to pollution and hence degradation of the
environment on the general scale. The principle of consumerism as an ethical
principle emerged with the obligation to persevere the environment and now
forms one of the may principles that must be upheld in ensuring the safety of
the environment. Although consumerism is an ethical principle that must be
upheld, it has its barriers and it is therefore important to note that it is time
and cost prohibitive that is to say it is costly, However even with its challenges,
the principle of consumerism is one of the many ethical principles that must be
upheld in ensuring the sanctity and the safety of the environment.

Sustainability, this ethical principle is grounded in the concept of the well

being of the environment not only for the contemporary populations but also
the well being and enhanced opportunities of the future generations,
sustainability means that something is used and not depleted destroyed or
damaged past its recovery, this in line with the question means that
sustainability must be upheld as an ethical pricple in ensuring the safety and
sanctity of the environment that is to say, while we must recognize that man
exists alongside the environment and therefore does nee dthe environment to
survive the usage of this environment must be in a sustainable manner rather
tthan obe the is to destroy it. This principle is one that must be upheld in
ensuring the sanctity and safety of the environment. This principle can be
found under the declaration of ehical princples in relaation to climate change,
