difference in ethical perspectives I understand the difference in ethical perspectives. Ecocentrism focuses on the importance of non-living elements of the environment. Construction will lead to air pollution via additional fuels used in construction machinery. Besides, digging and inserting metal in the ground will disrupt soil, rocks, and minerals in the area. Eventually, all the remnants will be carried via runoff into the adjacent river. From the Biocentrism perspective, they will uproot plants and trees that provide fresh oxygen to the surrounding ecosystem. From the Anthropocentrism perspective, the organic store will offer a healthy choice of sustenance, free of the chemicals and pesticides. In conclusion, I urge everyone to consider the endangered species of flora, fauna, and other living organisms. Also, those involved should not forget the impact of the civil suit or criminal conviction of violating this ACT. For example, the criminal conviction with penalties of a fine of up to $50,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both, and a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation if the construction goes ahead.
