People should be free to do as they wish short of interfering with the interests of other humans. Conservation is necessary since resources can never satisfy the needs of all humans. Every human is entitled to a decent minimum of wealth to avoid permanent privation. Baxter maintains that a clean environment is a means to the end of fulfilling human interests—not an end in itself. He holds that animals need not be preserved for their own sake: they need to be preserved only for the sake of humans.
Baxter admits that the position is selfish [based on self-interest], but he claims that no other position corresponds to the way people actually think—that is, corresponds to reality. He notes that clean air benefits both humans and animals. Only humans are capable of asking ought [moral] questions. Some humans claim to represent animals and plants, but Baxter asserts that no humans are the special representatives or proxies of animals and plants.
Baxter claims that there is no correct state of nature to which humans must return. Pure air is not an appropriate goal; rather, an optimal state of pollution is an appropriate goal.
