Abstract :Human Being is the most important asset of our planet . Living environment is very important for him. Recently, problems between human and his living environment have come out and severe difficulties have emerged. Globalization has raised the problem and the planet started to scream the reality that it shoult be deal with . Over-industrialization after the second Wotld War and the consequent pollution have brought up theenvironmental problems. Excessive use of natural resources has raised the problems, and humankind began to look for solutions to the problems. Environment-related problems have changed human’s view of environment. As a result of this, new diciplines in the philosophical perspectives, “Environmental Philosophy” and “Environmental Ethics” have begun to take their place. Environmental Ethics examines human’s view of environment.It isn’t a consept that has emerged today.Throughout the history,man has always been with his environment and always hadopsitive or negative opinions of it. Human’s view of environment will be more valuable if it is cosidered in the belief that it isn’t a possession but a trust.
