Nine cases and commentaries that present real-life situations and analyze the crucial decisions to be made.
Environmental issues are front-page news, from the storage of nuclear waste (not in my backyard!) to our dependence on imported oil. Individuals, communities, and industries with differing interests confront these issues on a daily basis and often vie for public support.
The first section describes the causes of environmental degradation, develops principles of environmental justice, and demonstrates how to approach decision-making. Nine cases and commentaries, based on actual situations, then explore the issues and provide resources, both moral and theological, to help readers evaluate possible outcomes. Each case/commentary includes suggested readings and relevant web sites for further research.
