A Short Course in Environmental Ethics Who, When, Where and How:
The Distinctiveness of Environmental By Keith Douglass Warner
OFM, with David DeCosse This lesson introduces the distinctive
features of environmental ethics by inviting you to see how
environmental ethics are related to personal or social ethics.
Whether you consider yourself a very ethical person or not, the

treated fairly, about having justice done. This lesson plan aims
to extend such common thinking about personal ethics to the
field of environmental ethics. We will do this by invoking the

lesson, there is a question or questions to guide reflection and
prompt discussion. W
