The ecological crisis has become a word-class problem, in contemporary society, it’s an important subject of real life and academic study. As a developing country, with the high speed development of economy in recent years, the problem of ecological damage is increasingly serious, the environment pressure is more severe than other countries. For this, our country has taken the construction of ecological civilization as the fourth civilization construction after the material civilization, spiritual civilization and social civilization, this shows that people have pay more attention to ecological problem. Ecological problems not only involves in the existential problems of contemporary people, also affects the sustainable development of society. In the current study of ecological civilization, the research of philosophical foundation is relatively weak, in this paper, I take the main connotation of ecological ethics should have and the cultivation of ecological ethics consciousness as the main research contents.The settlement of ecological crisis should take the cultivation of ecological ethics consciousness as the core. It’s a very complex system engineering to solve ecological crisis, it needs to work hard together of every aspect of society. But the root cause of ecological crisis is the lack of ecological ethics consciousness, so we must rethink the relationship between human and nature, establish the ecological ethics consciousness, adjust the relationship between human and nature, between contemporary and between contemporary and future generations, also we should change the economic development ideas and resources development way, respect nature and protect environment in the production practice, to eventually realize the co-existence and co-prosperity between human and nature. This paper discusses the abundant connotations of ecological ethics, and strives to study the principles and the concrete implementation ways of ecological ethics education.Firstly, Ecological ethics originated in the increasingly serious of ecological crisis and the philosophy reconstruction of traditional ethics. As the sole planet suitable for human living, has appeared such as resource exhaustion, serious environment pollution in the earth. Generally, we think the cause of ecological crisis is because of the abuse of technology, the values of consumption, etc. in fact, the ecological crisis marked the unbalance relationship between human and nature, human and society, human itself. So based on the practice of western protect ion environment movement, ecological ethics was established as a philosophical reflection.Secondly, base on the research to human centre doctrine and non-human centre doctrine, this paper investigates seriously the basic thoughts of ecological ethics. The human centre doctrine thinks that human survival and development is the ultimate value standard, the establishment of ecological ethics is to realize the long-term interests and fundamental interests of human. But about the human centre doctrine, there is a series of problems in ontology, epistemology and methodology. Ecological ethics overall doctrine emphasizes the interaction affects relationship between natural ecological balance and human society. It also believes that there is some specific nature value in human and natural objects, so human beings give enough respect to nature value to handle the relationship between human and nature.Then, this paper discussed the modern value and its enlightenments of the ecological ethics construction. This paper puts forwards that the construction of ecological ethics will promote the concept change of economic development, and will fundamentally improve the development of ecological civilization. Ecological ethics makes people realize the defects of the traditional economic values, and pay more attention to the dependence relationship between economic development and ecological construction, it will also provides a strong support to the circular economy and green economy. As the important goal of our country’s socialist modernization construction, the ecological civilization also is the positive response of the social development requirement.In view of the significance of ecological ethics construction, this paper discusses the meaning and theoretical basis of ecological ethics education. Ecological ethics quality is not only the objective request of ecological crisis, but also is the inner need of human nature, ecological ethics education has become an important issue of our country’s moral education. Ecological ethics education is proposed with the ecological crisis and the development of environment education, its purpose is to coordinate the relationship between human and nature, to give influence to all people, to help people to set up the consciousness of respecting nature. To carry out the ecological ethics education needs the guide of the correct theories, especially moral philosophy and ecological philosophy are the two indispensable theoretical resource:the former provides the content support to ecological ethics, the latter provides methodological support.At last, this paper pays attention to the contents and practice way of ecological ethics education. The content of ecological ethics education should include ecological moral education, ecological moral behavior standard education, ecological moral principles education. And ecological moral education includes the view of harmony between heaven and human, ecological moral behavior standard education contains scientific consumption and low cost development, On this basis, the paper thinks that we can carry out ecological ethics education by these ways:to strengthen the ecological ethics ecological culture construction, to improve the ecological ethics consciousness of mass media, to instill more ecological ethics into consciousness in the course of ideological and political education, and to establish and improve the ecological legal system, to establish a system of ecological ethics education system, promote the constant improvement of the ecological environment practice. Ecological ethics and ecological ethics education research is the major topic in contemporary economic and social life, also is the key factors to influence survival state and quality, I hope this paper will give some help to ecological ethics and ecological ethics education.
