  • iconShort Course on Environmental Ethics

    This short course is meant for those who have begun to be aware of obligations toward the natural world but who have not yet done something like taken a class or read a book about environmental ethics. The three lesson plans that constitute the course each focus on a different aspect of environmental ethics. Each of the plans involves an assignment and discussion questions for a class or for a small group.
