Environmental Ethics Consideration Of Mineral Resources Exploitation

The construction of ecological civilization is a long-term policy for the welfare of the people and the nation’s future, which also is the important issue of Eighteen. Mineral resources make outstanding contributions to promote the economic development and human civilization.

To analysis our country currently existing main environmental ethics problems of development of mineral resources like human ethical misconduct, lack of corporate culture, lack of awareness of environmental ethics and so on, in order to reach the reasons of these problems are incorrect values of mineral resources protection、exploitation of mineral resources of government regulations are not perfect and government regulation oversight.At last, from the perspective of environmental ethics, environmental ethics proposed path reasonably orderly exploitation of mineral resources. First of all to adhere to intergenerational equity, intra-generational fairness, respect for nature, sustainable development and others principles of environmental. Secondly is clearly defined the scope of rights and responsibilities the mineral resources miners, enterprises and government exploitation of mineral resources. Thirdly, proposedthrough encouraging technological innovation, improve the level of comprehensive utilization of mineral resources; the establishment of protection mechanisms to ensure the location of mineral resources interests are not infringed; Mineral Resources perfect regulation system, standardize the order of mineral resources exploitation of these ways to improve our system of rational exploitation of mineral resources protection. Fourthly, under the moral principles and norms and guidelines for environmental values of the environment, environmental ethics education for exploitation of mineral resources of the body, to evoke their natural environment, environmental ethics awareness resources and ecological conscience. According to the characteristics and condition of the modern exploitation of mineral resources, put forward rational development, scientific utilization, conservation of resources, and actively develop new products can replace minerals, who destroys the land reclamation, as exploitation of mineral resources ethical behavior and norms. By strengthening oriented leadership, mining companies, public environmental ethics advertising work to create an ecological civilization and rational use of environmental resources ethical atmosphere in the country.
