DESCRIPTION:\n\nENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS FORUM\nwith William Dvorak\n\nHow can we live 
 without violating natural ecosystems?  Now that we know a lot about ecology 
 and our human impact, what do we personally do with that knowledge?  Also, 
 we know how humans have evolved through tool use and fire use to alter the 
 planet into the Anthropocene Era that we’re in now — disrupting 
 Gaia’s delicate self-regulating mechanisms.  We know that the average 
 American discharges 20 tons of CO2 per year plus many other toxins with the 
 rest of humanity trailing behind but eager to catch up.  What ethical 
 standards have we assigned ourselves in this predicament?  What should we 
 strive for?  Shall we write a new Ten Commandments appropriate to our 
 ecological awareness?  How has human behavior, including our own, been 
 influenced in the past toward a greater good?  What guidelines can we give 
 ourselves intelligently, if any?  Let’s share any personal insights or 
 convictions we have arrived at through the rocky road of life.  Are the 
 concepts of guilt or shame applicable in any way? Please bring your ideas 
 about your individual self, your local community, the nation, and the 
 planet.   We will start with a round robin format where each person speaks 
 one at a time without interruption.  Then we’ll follow this with an open 
 discussion.\n\nHumanist Hall is wheelchair accessible around the corner at  
 411  28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are expected\n\n\n\n
