Subject: Fostering an Environmental Ethic
Dear fellow ecofem folks:
I have lurked on this list for some time now but have decided to
come out of the closet (so to speak) and request some dialog on a topic more
reflective of our personal life than professional.
I am a graduate student in Adult Ed interested in the process
by which adults develop an environmental ethic. Recently I awoke to the
fact that I was very judgemental of friends and neighbors for what I saw as
unresponsible behavior towards the environment, things like disposing of
paint by pouring it out on the ground and not recycling. As I wondered why
these intelligent, educated and moral people who conducted themselves
ethically in other parts of their lives were not also doing so in their
relationship with their environment, I paused to look at my own behavior and
questioned if I was not doing the same thing. Am I "walking my talk?" Am I
conducting my life in an environmentally ethical manner? I found disparity
between what I believed and my behavior. I am job hunting now and realized
that my criteria for work did not consciously include socially and
environmental responsibility on the part of a potential employer. I saw that
my research on how an environmental ethic is fostered better start with myself.
I have begun to keep a journal of this process (my personal one that
is), have committed to becoming "ecologically literate" and have decided to
converse with others about how they have undertaken similar journeys. This
listserv and the enviro-ethics listserv I subscribe to are one way to begin
that dialog. So what I would like to know is this:
How did your environmental ethic come into being?
Was there some type of " transformational experience?"
How do you manifest this ethic in your life? both personally,
professionally, publicly and privately?
Where have your experienced "stumbling blocks" in your efforts to
live according to your own personal ethic? and what have you done about that?
This is a very rough first cut at a life project I have just
undertaken and I appreciate any feedback, suggestions and sharing of your
personal experience. Thank you, thank you.
