Environmental Ethics and Actions, a 300-evel natural resources management class, is taught every spring by SNRAS professor John Fox at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The course is an exploration of the history of modern Western views of the relationship between people and nature, and examines alternative foundations for an environmental ethic such as utilitarianism, spiritual activity, rights-based and respect-based ethics, and the practice of such ethics in modern life. Papers by three students from the spring 2005 class are reprinted here.
