		The social ethic primarily relates to the sustained and efficient use of renewable resources, the moderation of destructive use of finite resources, and the prevention of harm to common resources such as air and water[?] quality, the natural functions of a living earth, and cultural values in a built environment.

	Conservation ethic
		This social ethic primarily relates to local purchasing, moral purchasing, the sustained and efficient use of renewable resources, the moderation of destructive use of finite resources, and the prevention of harm to common resources such as air and water quality, the natural functions of a living earth, and cultural values in a built environment.
		The principal value underlying most expressions of the conservation ethic is that the natural world has intrinsic and intangible worth along with utilitarian value — a view carried forward by the scientific ecology movement and some of the older Romantic schools of conservation.
		Gifford Pinchot, at the beginning of the 20th century, develops an ethics of resource conservation, which is based on a utilitarian philosophy encapsulated in his slogan "the greatest good for the greatest number for the longest time".

	Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew: History and Heritage: Timeline: 1945 to Today: The 1990s and Kew's conservation ethic
		The growth of the conservation ethic had a major influence behind the scenes and refocused Kew's mission from serving the needs of the colonies to serving the needs of the world community.
		Although the Gardens had often promoted conservation of plants and habitats to the colonies, for example through the despatch of botanists to oversee the preservation of the forests on Mauritius and the instigation of forest surveys on Cyprus in the late 19th century; the motives behind these decisions were still essentially economic and colonial.
		Kew's conservation work is exemplified by the Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst Place where the aim is to conserve not only seeds from all native British plants, but also a further 24,000 species of economic importance from around the globe, to act as a genetic bank for future generations.

	Aldo Leopold: A Land Ethic
		All ethics so far evolved rest upon a single premise: that the individual is a member of a community of interdependent parts.
		A land ethic of course cannot prevent the alteration, management, and use of these “resources,” but it does affirm their right to continued existence, and, at least in spots, their continued existence in a natural state.
		A land ethic, then, reflects the existence of an ecological conscience, and this in turn reflects a conviction of individual responsibility for the health of the land.

	City Ethic - 1000 Friends of Wisconsin
		Through a "city ethic" the environmental movement could help lead popular American culture to resolve its contradiction of opposing both sprawl and increased density, which could lead in turn to a marketplace that embraces cities and shuns sprawl, and to public policies that do the same.
		The city ethic suggests that it is an equally pro-environmental statement to help restore a city neighborhood as it is to plant a prairie.
		A city ethic would recognize that environmentalism is essentially a social movement and it demands a respect for the implications of personal choices on the environment which we all share.

		It is a proposition for all to treat the ocean and its creatures with the same conservation ethic as many have for land and its creatures.
		ELLIOTT A. NORSE is the founder and president of Marine Conservation Biology Institute in Redmond, Washington.
		Due to the lack of a strong public sea ethic, marine life doesn't appear on the conservation radar screen as much as its terrestrial counterparts, but ocean habitats are in decline as well, and therefore the creatures they support are too (which in turn support us).

	AWF: Ecotourism Travel With An Ethic
		A key part of this success story is ecotourism, a natural-history approach to travel that generates money to support conservation, allowing wildlife and habitats to pay their own way.
		It can be constructive conservation, involving local residents and enabling them to realize the economic benefits of dealing with the realities of finding sometimes large, dangerous and destructive wild animals literally in their backyards.
		Whether ecotourism is participatory, with the travelers involved in a project to enhance knowledge and/or conservation efforts, or simply observational, the goal is to leave each destination unscathed.

	SAA Bulletin 17(1): Teaching Archaeology in the 21st Century--Undergraduate Education
		To prepare archaeologists for the challenges of the 21st century, it is critical that these ethical principles be infused into the undergraduate curriculum, enhanced at the graduate level, and continued as part of postgraduate education and professional development.
		Conservation can include stabilizing an archaeological site, preserving it in place, excavating it, or promoting public understanding of its information content through site development and interpretation.
		It also should be noted that recent trends toward conservation have led to the hiring of archaeologists as cultural resource managers.

		Ideas of ecological balance, of wildlife conservation, of game management, of seasons and bag limits, of habitat preservation, all came to being within the space of a miraculously few years.
		With the exception of the private hunting preserves maintained for the pleasure of kings and nobles, the idea of preserving wildlife was not common in European thought or in European folklore.

		He tried to attract geese to his property in 1904, establishing in 1908 one of the first bird sanctuaries in North America, officially declared a provincial crown reserve in 1917.
		Miner's many lectures on the sanctuary throughout North America and Europe inspired similar efforts elsewhere and instilled a conservation ethic in many people, eventually earning him the Outdoor Life Gold Medal and the Order of the British Empire.
		Miner early recognized the importance of international co-operation in migratory bird conservation and, before banding was regulated, fashioned his own bands after learning of the technique from Percy A. He tagged thousands of waterfowl, inscribing biblical scriptures on the bands.

		In the end, it will be our collective conservation ethic that stands as the bulwark against the onslaught of sprawl and ultimately preserves our last rural landscapes.

	Backyard Conservation \| NRCS

		In recognition of the increasing importance of backyard habitat to bird life, the National Audubon Society and NRCS work together to engage the public to improve the health and habitat value of backyards and neighborhoods across America.

		There is simply no denying that since then we have morphed into a throwaway society that seems to place a questionable value on goods being temporary and easy to get rid of, rather than reusable.
		Every family needs to go back to the conservation ethic and reduce their use of electricity at home, especially between the hours of 5 p.m.
		Meanwhile, let's remember that conservation in general --whether it's for power, water or recycling -- can be a good way to save money, help the environment and do the right thing.
