One of the ways that environmental inequalities manifest is through the market economy. Research increasingly shows how the weight of capitalist interests cause disequilibria in nature: these imbalances spread to the welfare of animals and back to humans through socio-economic interactions. One Health recognises this connection as generative of unhealthy environments, but little has so far been said about the morality of balancing conflicting interests between animals and humans for resources and space. This paper focusses on One Health's interdisciplinarity; and provides an alternative research methodology, based on concordance of the "right to science," to analyse ethical collaborations between markets and ecological economies. The argument is illustrated by the financing of space exploration and its cost to the environment. My modest ambition is to enhance the ethical debate of a planetary "eco-" [Greek: "house, dwelling place, habitation"] by connecting health, economies [ "household management"], and ecology [ "study of"] to a sense of normative environmentalism.
环境不平等的表现方式之一是通过市场经济。越来越多的研究表明,资本主义利益的权重如何导致自然失衡:这些失衡通过社会经济互动蔓延到动物福利,并进而影响到人类。“同一健康”理念认识到这种联系会产生不健康的环境,但迄今为止,对于在资源和空间方面平衡动物与人类之间相互冲突的利益的道德性,几乎没有什么讨论。本文聚焦于“同一健康”的跨学科性;并提供一种基于“科学权”一致性的替代研究方法,以分析市场与生态经济之间的伦理合作。通过太空探索的资金投入及其对环境造成的代价来阐述这一论点。我 modest ambition 是通过将健康、经济[“家庭管理”]和生态[“研究”]与一种规范性环境主义意识相联系,来加强关于地球“生态”[希腊语:“房子、居住场所、栖息地”]的伦理辩论。 (注:“modest ambition”这里不太明确准确意思,暂保留英文)
