What Aspect do you agree with more below? What is the relationship between sustainability and human
rights?
On the naturalist view, two aspects of the concept of rights can be fittingly applied to defend the idea of environmental rights as rights of the environment. One aspect is the point that rights are interests that ought to be protected. On the naturalist view, the environment has interests that are not primarily psychological but rather teleological: natural entities, especially biological ones, have patterns of inherent development that move normally to fruition (acorns become oak trees, and so forth). These entities can be approximately construed as having interests in such fruition, including their not being destroyed or mutilated. The other aspect is that of control. Although the environment usually cannot of itself control how humans will deal with it, both governmental and nongovernmental agencies can be appointed to represent its interests and thereby exercise appropriate control.
