“Why aren’t you young people out protesting the mess

that’s being made of the planet?” EO Wilson

"Can enough of us get that inspired feeling back, and that sense of righteous mission on behalf of our fragile planet, to make a difference? Do we really need to? What does the environment have to do with broader issues of social justice, the 99% Movement, and the upcoming election season? Is it too late to dream of building a sustainable ecology? Is there anything wrong with eco-utopian dreams? Just some of the questions we’ll take up in Environmental Ethics & Activism (EEA).

Our main texts: Paul Hawken’s Blessed Unrest, James Speth’s Bridge at the Edge of the World, Bill McKibben’s Global Warming Reader, Van Jones’s Rebuild the Dream, Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia."
