This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 7-9-09Sustain, If we have the rights to live and survive, then we have a duty to respect the rights of each other to have a livable, safe, and healthy environment. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) We have a duty to respect the rights of each other to have a livable, safe, and healthy environment., If we have exploited the environment, then we have a duty to improve it by cleaning it up. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) 2. We should clean up the environment., 4. We should conserve and nurture the ecosystem through specific activities includes 1. We should recycle., Preserving biodiversity is critical not only for species survival but also because of the possibility of finding new uses for natural resources. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Wilderness areas, rain forests, prairies, lakes, and oceans need to be preserved for future generations., If people in less develoiped countries also need opportunities to share in the development of natural resources, and if preserving biodiversity is critical because of the possibility of finding new uses for natural resources, then wilderness areas, rain forests, prairies, lakes, and oceans need to be preserved for future generations. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Wilderness areas, rain forests, prairies, lakes, and oceans need to be preserved for future generations., Restoring the ecosystem to its original prehuman state is impossible objects If there is a great concern for sustaining the enviroment, then humans must find ways perserve and restore the ecosystem., Either the utilitarian perspective or the human rights perspective can be used to justify environmental sustainability. leads to The utilitarian perspective says that sustainability is required for the survival and well-being of present and future generations., If we should avoid polluting, clean up, recycle, conserve, replace, and restore the natural capital that has been used more by some people than others, then we should invent new technologies to achieve these ends, technologies that create economic growth as well. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) We should invent new technologies to achieve these ends, technologies that create economic growth as well., People in less developed countries also need opportunities to share in the development of natural resources so they can enjoy a better standard of living. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Wilderness areas, rain forests, prairies, lakes, and oceans need to be preserved for future generations., 4. We should conserve and nurture the ecosystem through specific activities includes 2. We should using renewable resources only within their regeneration abilities, 4. We should conserve and nurture the ecosystem through specific activities includes 4. maintain the present "capital" of the ecosystem by maintain present rain forests, wilderness areas, tundra, plains and other uninhabited areas; protecting biodiverse species of plants and animals; and maintaining the present level of natural resources, We should follow the guidelines set by environmentalists includes 4. We should conserve and nurture the ecosystem through specific activities, We, the human race, have exploited the environment. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) 2. We should clean up the environment., We should follow the guidelines set by environmentalists includes 1. We should reduce wast emissions and pollution to the amounts that we can clean up., rather than attempt to restore the ecosystem to its origonal prehuman state...we should think of of how we can restore it to long term livability leads to We should restore the ecyosyemtem to long term livability, The human rights perspective says we all have inalienable rights to include the rights to live and survive, thus we each have a right to a livable, safe, and healthy environment. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) We have a duty to respect the rights of each other to have a livable, safe, and healthy environment., If there is a great concern for sustaining the enviroment, then humans must find ways perserve and restore the ecosystem. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Humans must find ways to perserve and restore the ecosystem., Can we balance less developed countries rights to economic development against environmental sustainability and these against everyone's right to a livable environment? objects (ConfScheme) We should avoid polluting, clean up, recycle, conserve, replace, and restore the natural capital that has been used more by some people than others., In order to reach environmental sustainability, environmentalists aim to include two actions in the lives of the public. includes 2. We should clean up the environment., If we should clean up the environment, then we should follow the guidelines set by environmentalists therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) We should follow the guidelines set by environmentalists
