    Abstract: The global ecological predicaments gave mankind the opportunity to consider whether our
environment is being sustainably managed, a prerequisite to achieving the environmental aspect of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The assessment by some researchers have sufficiently proved that the
unsustainable ecological management depends on what people think about themselves and the values they hold
dear in relation to their environment. Little is known of huge positive impact ethics could play in the treatment
of our environment. This study adopts land ethics as a sine qua non for the achievement of environmental
sustainability by 2030. The sources of data for the study were gathered through validated questionnaire
administered to 2,873 sampled population of University of Nigeria community, only 1,181 questionnaires were
retrieved. The study utilized tables, frequencies and percentages for its data analysis.
