1- The are many different forms of environmental ethics. How do these ethics influence the way we perceive environmental issues? Why should/ or should not environmental ethics be a part of environmental science?
2- If you had to classify the main environmental approach (development, preservation, conservation) that you feel is most prevalent in today's society, which would you choose and why? How does this approach differ from region to region?
3- Granting polluting industries or countries the right to buy and sell emissions permits is a controversial idea. Some argue that the market is the best way to limit pollution, while others argue that trade in permits allows polluting industries to continue polluting. What is your take on this? Should the sale of additional "environmental permits" be used to subsidize inadequately funded environmental programs (ie nongame/ endangered species research)?
