Abstract
Movements against public works to save natural environments are now in fashion and a sort of environmental problem such as that observed in the Isahaya Bay reclamation project will repeatedly occur. We think that understanding their environmental thought which supports the movements will contribute to solution of friction between public works and actions to protect the natural environments. In this paper, we analyze a lot of objections to the Isahaya Bay reclamation project published in the three major newspapers from the viewpoint of the environmental thought by ethicists and philosophers in order to know the level of environmental ethics of general public.
