Ecology — Stewards of the Earth

PROMPT:
Many ethicists contend that Jewish philosopher Martin Buber’s contrast of “I—it” relationships and “I—thou” relationships is particularly relevant to the ecological and economic justice crises as well as the ideal for healthy interpersonal relationships.
After reading this week’s resources on Buber, do you agree or disagree with those assertions?  Why or why not making specific references to this and other material.  Explain your position in 400-500 words.
