Why Green isn’t Black or White, Benjamin Hale, Philosopher

Environmental Ethics – Why Green isn’t Black or White (hybrid event)
To many environmental activists and technocratically minded people any course of action that supports keeping this planet habitable instinctively (or reflexively) gets an instant green light.
But on closer look quite a few conflicting interests come into focus with issues such as geo-engineering or artificial meat or lithium mining on indigenous people's land.
Here to help avoid muddy thinking are two philosophy professors who will dialogue on the subject: Benjamin Hale, who teaches at CU Boulder and Ken Shockley at CSU in Fort Collins. Both work about ethical questions associated with environmental remediation, public health, moral status, and the tools of public policy.

Co-organized with Jefferson Unitarian's Green Task Force and the Jefferson Humanists.
Our venue has assisted listening devices and is wheel chair accessible.

As usual we'll have a free reception with food and drinks afterwards, so please plan on staying for more conversations with fellow participants and the presenters.

Hybrid in-person and broadcast event:

Our broadcast can’t handle questions but remote viewers can email questions to [jcres@cres-energy.org](mailto:jcres@cres-energy.org) and we'll try to get them answered live.
