Contemporary practice in art is concerned not only with aesthetics but also with ethics. The philosophy of geoethics emphasizes the importance of cultivating our ecological consciousness. Geoethics calls on our ethical responsibility to care for our planet and work toward a harmonious relationship between humankind and the environment. Furthermore, geoethics encourages us to seek out truth within our relationships and to fight for equality and fairness for all humans. The core idea of geoethics is the study of ethics, which is an understanding of morally right actions and our responsibility to the Other.
