Because many people and ecosystems share_or constitute_any given
place, they all have a stake in the outcome of what any of us do in
regard to environmental problems. It is not surprising that issues
are hotly contested given the many divergent interests, needs, and
preferences of a community's members, much less those of people
'downstream' who are affected by the consequences of our actions or
of 'outside' parties who play a part, including those who would
speak on behalf of the ecosystems. Thus, we not only must make
careful individual decisions concerning the environment, but need
to improve the way we operate socially, especially given the roles
and responsibilities we have as environmental professionals,
private-sector developers, public policy-makers and staff, or
engaged citizens. To aid in resolving our environmental dilemmas,
Mugerauer and Manzo focus on the decision making process. Their
goal is to help readers become more aware of the worldviews,
beliefs, and values that enter into the decisions they make and to
better resolve differences with others. To guide readers in
thinking about their own positions and how to approach ethical
decisions, Mugerauer and Manzo employ a number of exercises and
cases to investigate the choices and issues that different
stakeholders face (for example, concerning sustainability).
Additionally, the book presents alternatives in terms of formalized
ethical principles, the major ethical theories, and professional
codes of ethics.
