Abstract

Today the issue of environment or ecology is the most important issue to look at because the drastic use of natural resources and uneven development and unmanaged activities of people are irreversible. The percentage of the soil detoxification of water by chemicals air pollution the damage by acid rain comply-species, deforestation, inaccurate urban development all these and other spectacles establish what is now widely called the ecological problem. Since many years scientists are trying to control such problems and also trying to introduce the eco-friendly technologies, but all efforts seems less impactful to solve that much of huge ecological problem. As these problems are not only science-based, it carries multi-dimensions. Therefore it needs two side solutions one from legal side where strong national policies should be implemented and secondly on international level. In short the solution of these problems is political with moral grounds. Hence this is the result of this observation that the philosophers and political theorists are trying to find out the moral grounds for ecological-friendly policies. Liberal understanding argued in this context that ecological harm is basically an attempt to know the evolution of green ideas and environmental philosophy. While it permits a democratic way to solve any problem. The international talks and summits are the live example of this. Henceforth, if we ask the same question to Marxist then they will argue that environment protection is a new agenda to encroach natural resources form marginal group of the society, someone else may have other perception regarding this issue. So this chapter of the study will trying to explain different thinking about ecological or environmental protection.
