Environmental significance

Environmental significance

From Media Indonesia

Nature demands that man has to manage and preserve the environment. But, in practice, very few people do what should be done. We may not be aware that day by day the quality of our environment declines, and sooner or later will deteriorate until more serious problems appear.

The essence of the matter really concerns business ethics. For example, the pesticide businesses involves various aspects of life. Also agricultural, health, household, industrial businesses and so on. In practice, the excessive use of pesticides is quite common. We must be aware that the distribution of monogenic species and monocultural agriculture has resulted in an unbalanced ecosystem.

What has been done so far is destroying the pests that harm human food, and thus disturb the population distribution of the pest. In this context, should we apply environmental ethics?

Even so, at the end, human beings will win the contest because of the increasing need of various commodities.

It is true that things have been changing, although not totally. But we ourselves should determine in what direction the changes are made. The problem of the environment is an integral part of business, and we must appreciate its quality for the sake of successful business.
