Profound reconceptualization is necessary to regain the divinity of the other, which extraction has reduced to a series of possessed quantities meant to be used in search of utility
Berry 95 (Thomas, Ph.D. from the Catholic University of America in European intellectual history "The viable human" in Deep Ecology for the 21st Century, ed. George Sessions)
Ecologists recognize that reducing the planet to a resource base for consumer use in an
AND
possession and use is what activates the true value of any natural object.
Politics has been destroyed and consumerism has defiled what we once called ethics. We have been so thoroughly coopted by the ontological conditions of the resource that even the language in which we couch resistance and the movements with which we challenge hegemons have been reduced to fountains of utility
Monbiot 10 (George, English writer, known for his environmental and political activism "After this 60-year feeding frenzy, Earth itself has become disposable", 4 January 2010, http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jan/04/standard-of-living-spending-consumerism)

I advocate that developing countries prioritize environmental protection over resource extraction because the iron conditions of the status quo means that only affirming the resolution presents the possibility of ethics.

Other options to access a risk of ethics - we cannot seek a mechanistic solution to human problems through political technology – doing so creates another artificial binary between the resource and the human that entraps us within calculative thought

When referring to an 'ethics of technology' or an 'ethics of the arti?cial'

Thus described, wonder is the passion that can accompany not knowing, providing we

Reduction of debate to purely political concerns guarantees atrocity – we must infuse ethics into our decisionmaking
