Environmental Ethics '18

Returning to MTSU, Fall 2018- 
Environmental Ethics 
PHIL 3340
If you're interested in/concerned about the health and future of "the only home we've ever known," consider registering for PHIL 3340, Environmental Ethics - TTh 2:20, JUB 202. More info at http://envirojpo.blogspot.com/, or email phil.oliver@mtsu.edu.

The environment is under siege. Its current administrator is "giving even ostentatious polluters a reprieve." (Margot Talbot, "Dirty Politics"-New Yorker 4.2.18)

Former EPA head William Ruckelshaus, who worked for GOP Presidents Nixon and Reagan, says Scott Pruitt and his staff "don't fundamentally agree with the mission of the agency."

Can the vital mission of protecting our home be revived and sustained? How can we all act, now, to safeguard it against this and future eco-destructive administrations? A hopeful EPA veteran says: “'It might take a while to 'rebuild capacity' after Pruitt. But it [will] be done. The public is expecting us to protect the planet. Pruitt is a temporary interloper. We are the real agency.”



Are we with him?
