QUESTION 2
Things such as air pollution, reduction of natural resources, biodiversity’s loss, and demolition of
ecology, water pollution and worldwide climate changes are part of debate related to
environmental ethics (Crosson and Brubaker, 2016). Globalization has had far-reaching effects
on our lifestyle. It has led to faster access to technology, improved communication and
innovation. Globalization has featured widely in a debate on ecology, and green activists have
focused on significant impacts. The different environmental approaches are discussed below to
analyze the more effective approach-
1. Deep Green approach- Deep Green perceives terror as well as annoyance as balanced
response to a level of the rape of natural resources and the harsh nature of societies. Deep
ecology directs that energy in dynamically taking down the tools of development and
making societies based on value and public structures of real people (Li, et. al, 2016).
2. Dark green approach- Dark green believes that environmental issues are the natural part
of developed capitalism, and look for fundamental political changes. Dark green tends to
faith that dominant political philosophies are damaged and unavoidably lead to
consumerism, disaffection from environment and resources diminution.
3. Light green approach- Light green sees protecting the environment primary and
foremost as the personal liability. Light green frequently focus over conservationism as
the lifestyle option (Cochrane, Dyck and Blidook, 2015).
4. Bright green approach (Most effective approach) - Bright Green solution relies on
administrative legislations, technical innovation as well as adjustment related to structure.
The Bright Green movement has drawn major attention in the press and public
disclosures. The reason is that it feels good and does not terrorize the central powers

structure. It is a pretense. The environmental disasters faced by people are very massive
that, at a minimum, it is required by human beings to consider all the possible strategies.
The bright green approach is effective approach amongst all the approaches discussed
above because it puts the faith in techniques to render the answers in time, if people only
put proper resources in searching and implementing resolutions. The bright green
approach is most useful approach for the societies, which depends on modern
technologies and advanced designs to get benefits in environmental sustainability without
decreasing the prospective for financial development. The supporters of this approach
incline to be specifically passionate in respect of the green energy, hybrid automobile,
effective production system and bio, are helpful of compressed urban settlements.
Another question being debated is regarding the impact of bright green approach on
environment. Green activists have highlighted that globalization has resulted in increase
in product’s consumption that has influenced the ecological cycle. It has resulted in fast
access to technologies and improved innovations. It is argued that the bright green
approach is found more effective because it is all about the innovation and solution
(Griseri and Seppala, 2010). This approach puts certain efforts to maintain coordination
with an environment. This approach emphasis over possibilities and green techniques.
This is all about generating job and advancing lives. This approach ensures the best
quality lives and atmosphere. It is very realistic manner of decreasing pollution and
enhancing sustainability. The bright green ecology is more helpful in achieving the
energy as well as water independence. In this way, bright green ecology is less in respect
of the issues and difficulties people require to overcome than the devices, models, and

concepts, which already present for incapacitating them. This declines the harshness of
protests and disagreement for the stimulating faith of constructive resolutions.
