A‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ttached is the textbook with the readings. During the week, please read the following selections from Part IX of your textbook, Applied Ethics: A Multicultural Approach: Ramona Ilea’s “Intensive Livestock Farming: Global Trends, Increased Environmental Concerns, and Ethical Solutions” William Baxter’s “A ‘Good’ Environment: Just One of the Set of Human Objectives” Trish Glazebrook’s “Women and Climate Change: A Case Study from Northeast Ghana” Gregory Cajete’s “Look to the Mountain: Reflections on Indigenous Ecology” Shari Collins-Chobanian’s “Environmental Racism, American Indians, and Monitored Retrievable Storage Sites for Radioactive Waste This week our readings have focused on some environmental problems that affect our planet. Even if you do not believe in climate change, you probably acknowledge that there are serious environmental problems that need to be addressed immediately. The readings and videoclips for this week suggest that human activity has place‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍d terrible stresses on an environment that can and may eventually betray us. Our waste poisons the water and our farming methods lay waste to rainforests and animal habitats, limiting the diversity of plants and animals that are essential to all life. Research three things you could do (beginning as soon as possible) that would have an impact (even a small impact) on the environment? Do these three things apply universally or only in developed countries? Describe whether or not you think there is something to be learned from indigenous people in this country and whether the needs of women as far off as Northeast Ghana should really be taken into consideration. Do any of those three things you could possibly do address concerns expressed by any of the thinkers this week? Your essay should be no less than three pages long, and must include three or more references. The references must be credible (no Wikipedia or random websites). Your sources must come from articles researched via the Leatherby library ‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍website and/or academic database.
