近年潮流興環保，我一直對這個議題很有興趣。剛好大學開辨環境道德哲學的課，很可惜上課時間不適合，我沒有機會修讀。只好把課本買回來自已看，這本書是便是該課的課本。這是本環保理論的入門書藉，書中總括介紹由淺綠至深綠，各種不同的環境倫理的理論。全書只有短短一百五十頁，但內容十分豐富，要閱讀大量資料也不容易。由於只是入門的關係，書中盡量中肯地的介紹各個理論，至於對各個理論的批評和討論，這課還有另外一本巨形磚頭書。… [...]

潮流興環保﹐可是我們有沒有想過為什麼我們要環保呢﹖ 我們最常聽見的理由是戈爾的「絕望真相」﹐說地球受溫室效應影響﹐南北極冰塊溶化﹐海平線上升淹沒沿岸城市。熱帶雨林被砍筏﹐沙漠侵食土地﹐水源乾涸農作物失收。不論是生靈塗碳還是經濟損失﹐環境污染最終受害者是人類。我們或許會質疑環境破壞的數字和圖表﹐撇除利慾薰心用政治手段扭曲事實圖利外﹐環境大災難的預測始終基於科學觀察。在此環保的需要有客觀理性的根據﹐人類必需為未來打算﹐若把地球弄到不能居住﹐人類可以在那裏生存呢。… [...] There will be a new meaning to the term dry cleaning.

電燈是廿十世紀的最偉大發明﹐它照亮著人類的文化。讓人類征服黑暗﹐不用再依靠日光﹐脫離日出而作﹐日入而息的原始生活。我們終於可以取回屬於我們時間主權﹐晚間不用給無盡的黑夜支配。燈光是人類文明誌標﹐也是一個城市繁榮的象徵。從太空中回看地球﹐看到陸地上一個一個的光點﹐見證著人類進化的歷史。人類擁有自己光源﹐社會才能夠更有效率地運作﹐人們可以繼續辛勤地工作﹐也可以外出娛樂玩耍﹐晚上不用再無所事事。現代的城市二十四小時全天候運作﹐把黑夜照量得象白天一樣。地球不是平的﹐與其他地方工作有時差﹐朝九晚五不再是必然的上班規律。再者讓大量社會資源在晚上丟空﹐也是一種浪費﹐不若物盡其用﹐把黑夜變為過去的名詞。把黑夜照亮成為白天﹐不單只方便人們生活﹐更改善可以城市的治安。美國紐約八十年代罪惡橫行﹐市長朱尼安尼上任決心要整頓市容﹐他的其中一項措施就是改善晚間照明。今天大蘋果是美國治安的典範﹐也是一座繁華美麗的不夜城。… [...] 環保團體愛做很多無謂的調查報告﹐計算香港人“浪費”了多資源﹐然後在週未沒有新聞的日子﹐發給報社電視台爭取曝光率﹐就像以下這一則﹕「據環保組織的調查發現，本港五大快餐連鎖店，每日午餐時段共派出八萬二千支膠飲管，總長度達一萬六千米，相等於十二條青馬大橋。」新聞的結論總是呼籲市民節約﹐不要浪費自然資源。很多人對這些調查報告不加深究﹐信以為真﹐對浪費資源者痛加指責﹐可是這些資源真的是浪費掉嗎﹖… [...] |
