The full IUCN Red Book, including appendixes Environmental Ethics Short Course: What are Environmental Ethics: lesson #2 and lesson #3 Opinion-editorial assignment: first draft due March 1. Your assignment is to write an op-ed style article or letter to Governor Schwarzenegger OR members of his administration OR some kind of audience interested in the Greening of Religion. The op-ed is a very important style of persuasive writing. See my example on dam removal for fish protection in the LA Times. You must include references to the greening of religion, to religioius environmental values, OR why this is significant. Here's an example of how an Evangelical did this in a public paper in West Virginia (Bob Marshall is a colleague of Keith's). You do not need to advocate a personal view on religion, but you must incorporate the Greening of Religion into your arguments. I ask you to consider thanking the Governor for his past support of ocean protection and the Marine Life Protection Act (or here), OR to encourage him, the California Resource agencies (including the California Ocean Protection Council) and the California to do more, OR the public to support more initiatives!
