Ethics is relating to people in justice and love. Environmental Ethics starts with human concerns for a quality environment, and some think, this shapes the ethic from start to finish. Others hold that, beyond inter-human concerns, values are at stake when humans relate to animals, plants, species and ecosystem (Holmes Rolston, III)”. Thus, Environmental Ethics aims to explicate how one should behave or what rules and moral obligations one should have while interacting with his environment. And the Attitude towards environmentally moral behaviour helps to rescue the environment from destruction and that Attitude especially among teachers would influence many people in the society along with students, who are the future generations. Hence to assess the attitudes of secondary school biological science teachers towards Environmental Ethics is needed to draw conclusions regarding the moral obligations towards environmentally ethical behaviour. So, Environmental Ethics Attitude Scale (EEAS)which consists of 35 items is used in the present study. The reliability and validity of EEAS are found to be 0.99 and 0.994.The study revealed that , out of a sample of 500 teachers, there are 134(26.8%) teachers with high Attitude level, 241(48.2%) teachers with moderate level and 125(25%) teachers at low level of Attitude towards Environmental Ethics.
