To the best of our knowledge, the first course in Environmental Ethics to be offered by a philosopher at any campus of the University of California was introduced by the Gadfly in the Spring of 1980. That course has since evolved as he has presented it numerous times at campuses in California, Colorado, and most recently (Winter, 1997) at Northland College in Wisconsin.

Herein we include, for the use of Environmental Ethics teachers elsewhere, the basic course materials for that class: the syllabus, the introductory essay, and a collection of topical essays. Our only conditions for their use are the usual: (a) acknowledgment of their source, and (b) notification to the author. (Our e-mail address: gadfly@igc.org).
