Welcome

This is my first post and probably not very interesting. However, subsequent posts will focus on some ecological issues that I'm working on for my PhD dissertation and possibly some other related issues.

Specifically, I'm interested in ecological issues that arise at the intersection between business ethics and environmental ethics; that is ecological problems that are caused by particular operations of corporations (both in the US and internationally). More generally, I'm interested in particular issues discussed within the field of environmental ethics such as 'the intrinsic value of nature', 'the moral standing of non-human animals', 'anthropocentrism vs. non-anthropocentrism', and 'sustainability'.

Also, I hope this blog evolves into a virtual discussion regarding ecological issues instead of merely my pontifications. So, please feel welcome to respond to any/all of the posts here.
