Caring for Earth: Climate Change as Moral Choice

Our actions reflect our values. Climate change is a complex issue that can be used to explore our values about the environment.

White Violet Center for Eco-Justice will offer Caring for Earth: Climate Change as Moral Choice from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 24, at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind.
The book, "Moral Ground,"
will be used as framework
to examine varied moral
stances in Caring for Earth:
Climate Change as Moral
Choice
on March 24.

After introducing climate change as an issue, the framework of the recent book, "Moral Ground," will be used to examine the varied moral stances that underlie and support choices we make about our planetary home.

Presenter Sister Mary Lou Dolan is a member of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet. She is the director of the Master's in Earth Literacy at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. She has taught biology at the College of Saint Rose, in Albany, N.Y. and has been a staff member at Spiritearth, an ecological spirituality center.

The cost is $35, which includes lunch. The book "Moral Ground" will be available for purchase. (Moral Ground, ed. KD Moore and MP Nelson. San Antonio: Trinity University Press, 2010 is available in hard, paper and Kindle editions and is recommended.)
