As a mid-size manufacturer, the best approaches as a company would be to express
corporate responsibility and accelerate and innovate. With the current advances in technology
today, companies can do less damage to the environment while still running their businesses and
being morally responsible in protecting the environment (Saylor, 2016, p. 653-654).
Environmental ethics in week seven was defined as the philosophical relationship between

environmental issues created by humans and reverse them at a faster rate. (Saylor, 2016, p. 650).

example is simply walking, breathing and smelling fresh air that is not polluted by gases which
can destroy natural habitats, resources and grow human health concerns. Today, we are taking a
