Class #13, 11/22/10

**Roster, etc.

**Reminder:  Your Project is due next Monday, 11/29.

**Due tonight:  Chapter 13, "Environmental Justice"-- specifically read pp. 659ff, "The Earth Charter."

**From today's NY Times:  An article about China's huge hunger for coal, and the willingness of nations who publicly are environment-friendly to sell it to the Chinese.  Is there a double-standard here?  Or, are strict environmental standard between nations inherently hypocritical?

**While we're on the subject, let's look at the Three Gorges Dam project.  It reached full operational capacity in October, 2008.  Videos here.

**Also for next week:  Two short philosophical articles on handouts.  We'll talk about these next week, and then I'll ask you to do a little in-class writing before we break.
