AO1: Shallow ecology accepts growth but at a slower pace whereas deep ecology is committed to a more radical shift in the focus on growth. AO2: Clearly the two perspectives offer completely different paths for humans in relation to economic advancement with deep ecologists seeing shallow ecologists acceptance of green growth as part of the problem. Deep ecology promotes ecocentrism whereas shallow ecology supports enlightened anthropocentrism. Whilst enlightened anthropocentrism accepts that humans do have ethical obligations toward the environment it doesn’t go as far as ecocentrism which focusses less on a human-centred perspective as it places value on all living organisms and their natural environment. regardless of importance to humans and more on radical holism. Unlike deep ecology which proposes a move to localised production and massive decrease in the use of non- renewable resources, shallow ecology suggests that environmental problems can be solved without fundamental changes in key values and consumption and that green capitalism can resolve environmental problems. Deep ecology requires a far more radical re-evaluation of capitalism with changes to modes of production and opposition to industrialisation with limited focus on growth and rejection of materialism. Unlike deep ecology, shallow ecology has been accused of attempting to support the continuance of the lifestyles of people in developed states. Clearly deep ecology is more likely to impact on the lifestyles of people in developed states which will lead to a potential impact on consumerism and may consequently face greater resistance from people in developed states. Deep ecology is considered by many to offer a greater and more immediate impact on environmental degradation with increased likelihood of success than shallow ecology. Many argue that global treaty targets for restricting temperature rises are more likely to be met in a shorter period of time using deep ecology proposals than shallow ecology offering a greater likelihood of success for existing global environmental treaties.
