"A terrific, bargain-priced, single-volume series geared for high school students...this is highly recommended." -Video Librarian
The inspiring stories told in Environmental Ethics pose questions about how to weigh the needs of modern life with the reality of its impact on the natural world. Through engaging, real-life examples of ethical concepts in action, this program asks viewers to think more critically about the power each person has to make a difference in their own communities. A true testament to the "power of one," Environmental Ethics demonstrates the many ways that regular people can become environmental heroes.
Environmental Ethics is part of a fully standards-based high school course supplement that includes this video series, a comprehensive accompanying written curriculum, and an interactive online teachers' community, the Environmental Ethics Network. The course is aligned to national education standards in science, social studies, and language arts.
