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.
