The Ethics Impact Study

an Ethics Impact Study, is an analysis of a policy or policy initiative of a business, non-profit or governmental organization in terms of ethics. What is the ethical problem? What is the ethical solution? The ethical dimension(s) should be understood to include consideration of both human and environmental well-being. More particularly, they should be discussed in terms of one or more of the following, which are all covered in our course: Earth Justice, Biocultural Ethics, and Sector-Based Sustainability Ethics (i.e. Land Ethics, Water Ethics, Air Ethics, Waste Ethics, Food Ethics, Energy Ethics, Consumption Ethics, Place Ethics, and Climate Ethics). Since time is limited, the inquiry and exploration should be highly focused and specific.

At least 20 sources should be included; and at least 10 of them should be course materials(see attached files)

A page number in the relevant source must be given for every reference. A bibliography is required and should follow the end-notes.
