Films that examine environmental ethics
We haven’t had a film clip in class for a couple of weeks, but we’ll find time for more viewing toward the end of the course. Ethics is amenable to learning through the film medium because learning to think philosophically is not just about amassing knowledge but about identifying and thinking through problems and observing how others frame ethical problems.
Here are some of my recommendations for films that are related to the issues raised in Deep Economy and other problems in environmental sustainability. Many of these have trailers available on the web. I’d love to hear your further suggestions!
About our energy economy:
About climate change:
About wildlife:
About local economies:
About waste:
- The Story of Stuff (20 min., online)
About food:
About industrialization and natural environments:
- Manufacturing Landscapes (showing on campus in January)
