With the rapid  and unplanned  industrialization  the human  society is  facing  different  environmental problems due to variety of destructing  activities.  There is  an urgent need to stop further degradation of nature or at least keep it under control. We have to decide  and choose the right  code of conduct which  calls  the  human  conscience  and environmental   ethics.  Environmental  ethics  are our  beliefs about  our social,  moral and scientific  behavior  towards the nature concerning  what  is right or what is wrong.  There  are several  approaches  to environmental   ethics.  Present  paper  deals  with certain principles  which  are recognized  as environmental  ethics.  Some ethical  justifications  are  discussed with reference to moral sense,  spiritual  thinking  and practical  utility on the grounds  of present  need and the  future  of our next  generation.
