Shallow ecology is an environmental philosophy that emphasizes human-centric approaches to sustainability. It advocates for pollution control, resource management, and environmental restoration to support human well-being. Contrasting with deep ecology's intrinsic value of nature, shallow ecology focuses on nature's utility for humans and promotes weak sustainability and technological innovation for environmental issues.
