Moral Ground: A Discussion of Global Environmental Ethics

Kathleen Dean Moore, co-editor of “Moral Ground; Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril” will read selections from the book and lead those attending in a discussion of our moral obligation to the future of our planet.

The book Moral Ground gathers testimony from 80 global moral leaders, “all calling us to honor our obligations to leave to the future a world as rich in possibility as the world we inherited.”

This is one of a series of town hall meetings and lectures being held across the country. The event is free and open to the public - donations will be accepted to help defray costs. A reception prepared by MCC’s Culinary Management Program and a book signing will follow the discussion. For more information, call the Environmental Defenders at 815-338-0393 or Lou Marchi Total Recycling Institute at MCC at 815-479-7817.

Moore, a professor of Philosophy at Oregon State University, teaches environmental ethics and moral reasoning to students. She is also author of several personal essay/nature writing books including “Riverwalking,” “Holdfast” and “Wild Comfort.” More information about Moral Ground is available at www.moralground.org.
