Summary

Carlo Alvaro*

Environmental ethics, among other things, is concerned with our attitude toward nature. By nature here I don’t mean anything other than the waters, the trees, non-human animals-the environment.

My aim is to begin a discussion about the potential advantages of adopting a virtue-based approach to our outlook toward the environment
