Environmental science based on ecoethics perspective shoulders two glory duties and history missions. One is to reform the traditional theoretical ideas, the other is to construct and create practical ideas needed by the construction of ecological civilization. Therefore, it?s necessary to reconfirm the overall positioning of environmental science. That is, the architecture of environmental science is a super discipline group encompassing multi-class disciplines such as eco-philosophy, eco-ethics, environmental science and environmental humanities and social science, etc. Its features are the inheritance and revolutionary of ideas, investigative diversity and unity, the divergence and convergence of discipline development, the cultural criticalness and pre-guiding, the resultant certainty and uncertainty. Environmental science community should not be confined to only natural science, but extend to the environmental interdisciplinary to form the great environmental science community. It help to make the humanistic paradigm clear to study environmental science which decides the basis and theory tool to research this subject. They are the co-evolutive ecological world outlook of “one earth, two world”, the ecological values of coexist with earth resources and earth source, the ecological rights view from “social contract” to “natural contract”.Analyzing the problems of the theoretical ideas on different levels, and insisting natural view of environment should not establish on the basis of natural endism, but on that of natural organicism and evolving naturalism. The foundation lies in “nature knows best”, “the self-preservation of biology interests” and “the revenge of nature”. On the view of environmental protection, analyzing the causes of the “extreme environmental protection”, the crux lies in insisting on the extreme anthropocentrism as well as ignoring the space-time heterogeneity of the environment protection and the differences in the location of economic development. Degree of the man-nature relationship rest with the double criterion of ?Benefit to mankind, promote ecology?.On the debate of environmental views of society of ?whether circulation economy or economizing economy?, analyzing their differences. The conclusion are that circulation economy fits industry development mode while doesn?t fit environment-social development mode; economizing economy proposed is aimed at materialistic consumption in the economic world. It contains circulation. The purpose of circulation is saving. It highlights the ethic consciousness in environmental society, they lie in the material puritanism and the living minimalism.To carry out the research on the questions of the practical ideas of environmental science. On one hand, analyzing the background of eco-friendly enterprises in city and the practical ideas of the industrial ecologicalization,the eco-friendly enterprises are considered as the example of the industrial ecologicalization. It can not realize automatically. The foundation lies in the environmental ideas of “the overall controls and decides the part”, “the external diseconomy”, “enterprise is not voluntary to ecologicalize industry” and “the taken-given balance”. Especially, “the small cement enterprises” innovate the technology of processing the urban living garbage in order to extricate itself from “the outdated capacity”. Although the environmental evaluation and the cement quality monitoring both meet the correlated national standard, the birthright of legitimate commodity production and ecologic production remains undetermined. The crux lies in lacking practical and developed attitude to the problems and the sound evaluation standards. Energy consumption, environmental protection degree, cement demand state locally and the enterprises? localization extent should be the evaluation criteria.On the other hand, “wilderness environment”, “biodiversity protection” and “river life ethics and the constructing way of practical thinking” are demonstrated from the perspective of ecological ethics. The wilderness is an aggregation of environmental relationship. Its connotation emphasizes the sustainability of man-nature relationship. Its characteristics contain the natural primary and natural constructivism, diversity and unity, stability and volatility, partial belligerence and integral concordance. The essence of wilderness is the wild. It is the accumulated achievement in the process of natural history. It would contribute to change the ?highly fragmented and segmentary decision-making? from locality such as forest, wet land or river, etc to establish the concept of wilderness and regard it as the decision-making idea.Biodiversity belongs to the attribute of environmental relationship. It is mutual restriction with the cultural diversity which is the starting point to discuss the ethic of biodiversity conservation. And then discover the biodiversity is not equal to biological diversity, but the essential property of various creatures. Human and other creatures all depend on their living environment. While human scientific reason changes the diversity of life world into the oneness of physical world. The cultural essence of biodiversity destruction today lies in substituting the form of simple mechanical and physical movement for that of complicated life movements. Essentially, any creatures including human beings have the survival and genus properties. The nature of biodiversity protection is to protect the generality of survival properties and the difference of genus properties.To research river environmental entity based on eco-ethic, one may get the perspective of the rivers? living life form in the earth hydrosphere picture. The aim is to establish management style of river life featured with the idea of river’s life healthy. The concept of river life conforms to the unequilibrium ecology and the complexity theory, especially to the interpretation on organism model of the dissipative structure, synergetics and hypercycle theory. It embodies the natural vivisystems is self-organizing system which has cooperative integrality and evolutionary direction. From this we can distinguish the causality in mechanical system from the functional relationship in organic system. The root of river life is water, the lifeline is super circulation flow. It has itself survival and healthy way. The management of river life should insist on the synergistic holism, evolutionary axiology and the ethics thought characteristics as “thinking like river”. River life is a new concept. It falls under the category of the creation and transmission system of green knowledge. The practical way of thinking is embodied in three dimensions to the river life meaning as importance, expression and comprehension.Environmental science shoulders the missions of serving for mankind ultimate concern and for the man-nature harmony. Its mandate lies in forming a great community of environmental science to promote the cross-over study on environmental sciences. In particular, it is necessary to carry out the basic research on the history of environmental science at the present.
