In place of traditional approaches in environmental ethics, I suggest an improved approach, with respect to the goal of improving the condition of the natural environment, called ‘world mediation’ through the use of Hannah Arendt's theory of the vita activa. This approach focuses on the relationship between human made worlds and nature, from which a theory of value is suggested. Intrinsic value theory and nature–culture monism are both criticized for an insufficient attention paid toward the human–nature relationship
