Personal Environmental Ethics Paper
As you have probably noticed from looking at the syllabus, this assignment makes up a sizeable portion of your grade.
Assignment
Write a 3 - 5 page essay that expresses your personal environmental ethic. You need to defend why you have chosen your particular ethic. I am especially interested in seeing that you have clearly thought through the implication of your environmental ethic. For example, if you express a "biocentric ethic" that postulates that all living organisms have equal instinsic value and you eat beef then you need to integrate these two views.
Important Dates
First Draft- Due Friday November 13th (make sure to bring multiple copies of the draft so that you can exchange papers with members of your workshop group)
Students should review their classmates papers over the weekend and return them on Monday November 16th.
Final Draft- Due Friday November 23rd.
