development of varied views:
◈ Social ecology applies an ecological and ethical approach
in analyzing society, and sees a relationship between
social problems and environmental problems. Society
should, therefore, implement changes in order to address
issues regarding the environment.

arose from the growing concern with climate change, and
consider it a significant ethical, social, and political issue.

development of varied views:
◈ Another perspective in environmental awareness is
Environmental Aesthetics, which originally focused on concepts
of beauty in nature, but has become increasingly influenced by
environmental concerns. Environmental aesthetics began In the
twentieth century, concerned primarily with natural beauty in the
context of maintaining order and balance in the environment For
its adherents, knowledge about nature will not only enable
humans to appreciate nature's innate beauty but will also help
them relate more effectively with the environment.

significant social movements that were inspired by
increased environmental awareness include the
environmental protection and conservation
movement, animal nights, and green politics.
Activism and increased organized action are
indications of the growing awareness of
environmentalism in today's society.

environmentalism has also become an important issue in
international politics as governments and International organizations
have devoted efforts to discuss environmental issues and formulate
plans to address them. Significant developments include the signing
of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, where various nations committed to
reduce their greenhouse gas omissions in order to curb global
warming. The celebration of Earth Day, first natuted in 1970, is a
global effort to raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire
action among communities.
