A decent selection of both classic and contemporary readings (most of them abridged) on the issues of environmental ethics.

OMG how is this still on here?!

This was my textbook for Environmental Ethics, so spot-on title. I strongly disagree with Descartes, even think he's evil for the things he's written about animals. There are some essays we didn't get to that I'd still like to read, esp one on Earth First.

Merely skimmed the text for now, but might return to it if it becomes more relevant at a later date.
