Hi folks: The responses to my query below were all over the map (and lots were general ways to think about things, rather than specific readings). Not easily summarizable, but instead I'll send you the list of readings I settled on for the first week of class.
The broader idea of this class session was assembling the building blocks of different types of things we could care about/focus on when deciding about creating environmental policy. Patricia Balvanera et al, “Conserving Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services,” Science 291(5511) (16 March 2001), p. 2047. Peter Singer, “All Animals Are Equal,” Philosophical Exchange 1 (1974), pp. 103–116. Alison Dundes Renteln, “Environmental Rights vs. Cultural Rights,” Carnegie Council for Ethics and International Affairs, Spring 2004, 3 pp. Robert W. Lake, “Volunteers, NIMBYs, and Environmental Justice: Dilemmas of Democratic Practice,” in Antipode 28(2) (1996), pp. 160-174. Alasdair Cochrane, “Holistic Entities” and “Deep Ecology,” in Environmental Ethics/Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, http://www.iep.utm.edu/envi-eth/#SH1c Thanks to all who made suggestions.
