The Ethics of Sustainability
The content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at http://www.ilsr.org/presentation-ethics-sustainability/David Morris spoke on Earth Day to the First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis on ethics. He began with some definitions:
Ethics is a set of moral values and standards that guide our conduct. Those moral values and standards are not the same in all societies. Our own country offers an excellent example. Indeed, we consider our history and culture so unique that our leaders often use the term American Exceptionalism to describe our economic and social niche.
