DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS\nwith Will Dvorak\n\nWhat is your ethical 
 outlook? Let’s have a look at common ethical stances. There’s 
 environmental ethics (i.e, saving the planet’s ecosystems) versus 
 personal ethics (i.e., taking care of one’s self, physical well being, 
 mental health without guilt or blame, happiness, etc.)  Is it possible to 
 reconcile the two?  Will Dvorak considers this to be the most relevant 
 question we face:  the environmental impact of our personal ethical 
 behavior.  As addicts to the obvious benefits of carbon pollution, ocean 
 acidification, soil loss, forest clear cutting, chemical uses, how much 
 responsibility do we personally bear to avoid our addictions and deprive 
 ourselves of the easy, affluent, and good life of contemporary California?  
  What is our polluting footprint and should we feel guilty about it or just 
 relax for the sake of mental sanity and enjoy the good life?  We could live 
 like Jain monks and do minimal harm or continue producing X tons of carbon 
 and pollution per person.  Because of science at this unique point in human 
 history, we know approximately our pollution footprints.  Previous 
 generations did not have this awareness.  What do we do with it?  Will 
 Dvorak will be using these books as references for his presentation:  
 "Nature and Madness" by Paul Shepard,  "Suicidal Planet" by Mayer Hillman, 
 and "A Short history of Progress" by Ronald Wright.\n\nHumanist Hall is 
 wheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 
 donations are expected\n\n\n\n
