Abstract: The word Ethics has come from the Greek word Ethos which means custom or habit. In Bengali Ethics means moral philosophy. So we can say the customs which help man to do the right works and the habits which follow them are called moral ethics. In short we can say moral ethics is such a subject by following which we can understand what should be done and what not, and mould our lifestyle in the right ways. So we can say in general moral ethics is such a subject by practicing which we can easily differentiate between good and evil. Following the above discussion we can explain Environmental Ethics. We know that the Earth is the only planet where we find the existence of life and the span of existence of man on Earth is the shortest. Man is the most intelligent in the animal kingdom as man has the power of thinking and capacity of applying in reality. But at present the existence of man on Earth is at stake and man is inviting his ruin by polluting environment in large scale.
