Please consider enrolling in PHIL 113 Environmental Ethics. This course could not be more important for our times. Here is what the instructor, Luke Trusso, wrote:

Are you tired of contributing to the 6th Mass Extinction and don’t know what to do about it? Interested in the intersection between social justice and climate justice? Then Environmental Ethics might be the class for you. Lest we slide towards Ecocide, the current 21st ecological crisis should be"...a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message—spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions—telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet.” - Naomi Klein
