 * Environmental Ethics Tidbits & Trivia


 * Emmanuel Kant:** Persons, by virtue of moral autonomy and free will, are "ends in themselves," have dignity, and therefore cannot morally be used toward other ends to the exclusions of consideration of their own welfare. The rest of nature, by this definition, has only instrumentality to human ends.

**Thomas Regan:** To possess moral standing or inherent value, a being must be a subject of life (not a moral agent). Thus, flora and fauna have moral standing. 
 * Paul Taylor:** If an entity can pursue its own good in accordance with its nature, it is to be included in Kant's moral imperative as a "teleological center of life."


 * Protest bids:** a protest bid is when someone says, "I wouldn't do that at any price" (e.g. eat one's children). Unfortunately, when values are being calculated by dollar, there is no way to count protest bids - even though they may be the most strongly held values of all!
