In the first essay of the text, Palmer states that one of the central questions up for debate in the field of environmental ethics is "what is considered to be valuable, and from where does such value come?" After reviewing the readings for Week 1, and particularly after reading Palmer's "An Overview of Environmental Ethics", which of the approaches or perspectives to environmental ethics is most appealing to you? Defend* your response.
By this I mean support your response by directly discussing the various authors from the weekly readings and incorporating their views into your writing. Do not just provide me your opinion. Keep in mind that although the essays are structured for you to present your opinion, they are also intended to gauge your understanding of the course material and one way to do so is to compare and contrast the material to develop your arguments.
