Modern technology has become an important driving force of social development. With the rapid technological development, people's way of life also will be producing a major change. It gathered a lot of human society and material wealth, so that the people's material standard of living has reached the highest point so far. However, due to its "double-edged sword" effect, technology development and application of improper relationship between human beings and nature unprecedented confrontation. Nuclear radiation, genetically modified foods, pesticides, pollution, ecological problems caused by technology is especially serious, are common. Proven, technology development and application of undue ecological crisis has become the all important risk source of the outbreak. Ecological risk technology development process as a technology product with the negative, if not checked, will endanger the further development of human beings.With the concept of ecological risk technology development and applied technology society came into being. And technical risks, the technical ecological risk more focused, emphasis on technical risk the possibility of ecological damage; the same time it different and ecological risk, which emphasizes the production of ecological risk is the result of technology. Although the technology areas of ecological risk in the performance of different technologies, the impact, triggering different ways, but its consequences have been on the normal operation of the entire ecosystem caused a degree of damage. Therefore, we must, through the phenomenon of ecological problems in the surface to find the root cause of the problem.Ecological risk caused by technical reasons, in addition to the limitations of technology itself, the main concept of human error due to the orientation for their actions. Technology as a means of understanding and transforming nature and tools of the human manipulation and control, its use is subject to people's world view, values, factors such topics as the influence and control. Thus, ecological risk technology digestion, must be the main factor - the source of the human start.Technology can not develop without ethics guidance, constraints and norms. Normative ethics as a subject is to avoid ecological risk technology produces one of the most effective way. In this paper, the technology and its root causes of ecological risk analysis, try to ecological ethics from the perspective of the concept of technology subject to proper guidance, proposed ecological risk circumvention of technological principles of ecological ethics, and through different technical subject - government, researchers and the joint efforts of the public under the guidance of the ethical principles to practice, the technology to minimize the ecological risk caused to restrict or eliminate the negative effects of technology to promote human and ecological harmony, sustained and stable development.
