Doing Environmental Ethics is an accessible applied-ethics book, offering an inclusive and practical way for an individual to address the world’s ecological crisis. Author Robert Traer builds on a commonsense understanding of doing what is right and being a good person and suggests how, with a deeper sense of self and one’s place in nature, we can begin to change our “carbon footprint.” Traer draws on secular and religious perspectives, as well as Eastern and Western traditions, and devotes central attention to considerations of duty, character, relationships, and rights. Discussion questions in each chapter help readers clarify their reasoning and create action plans for change. Doing Environmental Ethics demonstrates how valuable defining one’s own philosophy about the environment is to living with greater ecological awareness and sense of personal responsibility.
