Write a review
Part of the "Basic Ethics in Action" series, this work shows how a personal ethic of virtue must include a commitment to environmental preservation, how developments in technology make it possible to live and develop our communities sustainably on the earth, and how the virtue of simplicity unifies environmental sensitivity with a focused life.
For courses in Environmental Ethics, Applied Ethics, Natural Resource Economics, Environmental Science, and Environmental Conservation. This straightforward text is the only one of its kind to join the literature of environmental ethics to the literature of applied ethics--to describe a life lived in harmony with itself, with society, and with the natural world. Part of the applied ethics series, Basic Ethics in Action, edited by Michael Boylan.
