human centred = humans are superior to other species on earth. Humans have unrestricted use of nature’s resources due to being separate to nature.
stewardship = we have a responsibility to being kind managers of the earth. We can use resources but only in a way that is sustainable meaning ensuring the availability of it for future generations.
earth centered = Humans are equal to animals not superior. All life has a value regardless of their actual or potential use to us = like mice vs cows or horses vs ants
