   Extractions: Divinity School News Office ... Harvard University Home Page ] From an initial conference sponsored by the Harvard Divinity School at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in the autumn of 1989 ( The Harvard Divinity Bulletin , XIX, 3, 1989.) until the end of 1999 environmental ethics constituted an ongoing realm of activity at Harvard Divinity School. When the Center for the Study of Values in Public Life was subsequently created at the Divinity School, the became one of its three program areas of concentration, with continuous support from the Harvard-wide University Committee on Environment (UCE) . The program focused on several distinct activities including a faculty seminar (the Harvard Seminar on Environmental Values ), the publication of an Occasional Papers Series and the presentation of the Subject Bibliographies in Environmental Ethics . In addition, it drew attention of students and faculty to courses offered in the Divinity School and in other schools of the Boston Theological Institute (BTI) that related to environmental ethics and public policy. Over the years of its existence, the program served as the principal liaison between university-wide initiatives on the environment of the UCE and the members of the faculty and students at the Divinity School.

   environmental ethics is a topic of applied ethics which examines the moral basis of environmental responsibility.  
   http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/e/environm.htm
   
   Extractions: Introduction Environmental ethics is a topic of applied ethics which examines the moral basis of environmental responsibility. In these environmentally conscious times, virtually everyone agrees that we need to be environmentally responsible. Toxic waste contaminates ground water, oil spills destroy shore lines, fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide thus adding to the greenhouse effect, and use of fluorocarbon gasses depletes the earth's protecting ozone layer. The goal of environmental ethics, then, is not to convince us that we should be concerned about the environment most of us already are. Instead, environmental ethics focuses on the moral foundation of environmental responsibility, and how far this responsibility extends. There are three distinct theories of moral responsibility to the environment. Although each supports environmental responsibility, their approaches are radically different. Back to Table of Contents Leopold's Ecocentrism To help us develop a proper ecological conscience, Leopold argues that we need a specific mental image to focus on. He offers the image of the land pyramid. The land pyramid is the class of all food chains, where the higher levels depend on everything beneath it. From bottom to top, the basic layers of the pyramid are those of soil, plants, insects, insect eating animals, omnivores, and carnivores. Humans fall into the omnivore category along with raccoons and bears. Leopold explains that there is a continuous and upward flow of food energy in the pyramid, and that obstructions to the flow of energy at any level will damage the whole. Some geographical regions of the world, such as Europe and Japan, have been able to sustain human imposed environmental changes without damage. But other regions of the world have been less fortunate.

9. Environmental Ethics
   Branch of ethics dealing with the moral relationship of humans to the environment; by Andrew Brennan and YeukSze Lo.  
   http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethics-environmental/
   
   Extractions: JUN Environmental ethics is the discipline that studies the moral relationship of human beings to, and also the value and moral status of, the environment and its nonhuman contents. This entry covers: (1) the challenge of environmental ethics to the anthropocentrism (i.e., human-centeredness) embedded in traditional western ethical thinking; (2) the early development of the discipline in the 1960s and 1970s; (3) the connection of deep ecology, feminist environmental ethics, and social ecology to politics; (4) the attempt to apply traditional ethical theories, including consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics, to support contemporary environmental concerns; and (5) the focus of environmental literature on wilderness, and possible future developments of the discipline. These are among the questions investigated by environmental ethics. Some of them are specific questions faced by individuals in particular circumstances, while others are more global questions faced by groups and communities. Yet others are more abstract questions concerning the value and moral standing of the natural environment and its nonhuman components.

10. Martin Heidegger And Environmental Ethics
    Online scholarly paper by Tad Beckman.  
    http://www2.hmc.edu/~tbeckman/personal/Heidart.html
    
    Extractions: MARTIN HEIDEGGER AND ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS After World War II, Martin Heidegger directed much of his thinking to technology and to the impact of technology on our perceptions of human life. One of the essays developed along this path was "The Question Concerning Technology." It is unfortunate that the essay is not widely read because it carries the critique of technology out of its usual context and form and delivers it into a new light where there is, perhaps, some progress to be made. Furthermore, the essay has special significance to environmental issues and, I believe, lays a new groundwork for an ethical approach to our relations with the environment. The tension in this essay comes into sharp focus, at the end, in Heidegger's preposterous suggestion that art may be what we need to carry us out of the dangerous epoch of technology. I say that this is "preposterous" on two grounds. First, our society thinks of technology as its distinctive talent and strength, not as a disaster. Second, our society sees art as frivolous and impotent in the "real world" of capitalistically generated technology. Heidegger himself recognized this irony and devoted the major portion of the essay to a careful analysis of the dangers that befall us in technology. His suggestion regarding art came late and remained poorly explicated. My intention, in this essay, is to interpret Heidegger's thesis about technology and art in the context of forming an ethical approach to the environment. What we shall discover along this path is that human nature, technology, and art are all intertwined in complex ways. At present, these relationships stand in great confusion and this confusion is part of the danger of our time. But this confusion can be grasped and dispensed with by thinking our way into the essence of our technological epoch. We may also ask, What is the essence of art that it might bear some relation to this epoch? And finally, What is our essence as human beings in relation to technology, art, and our natural environment?
