Requirements

text in the paper, as the syllabus states, so be concise.
2. Original assignment: Create a poster that explains an ethical dimension of energy
and climate, drawing from the essays above. Be sure to describe the role of
engineering and technology in this. Then, using pictures, graphics and text boxes,

last day of the term.
3. Due week 10.
Introduction
Human use of fossil fuels to meet our energy needs is extremely harmful to the
environment. Life on this planet is in jeopardy. We must consider those who cannot
speak or choose for themselves. We must do something to mitigate the unfortunate
circumstances this creates for everyone.
The poster below illustrates the moral problem—anthropogenic activity is
destroying the polar ice caps and the implications are catastrophic. The four ecojustice
norms—sustainability, sufficiency, participation and solidarity—coupled with the twelve
energy guidelines—equity, efficiency, adequacy, renewability, appropriateness, risk,
peace, cost, employment, flexibility, timely decision-making, and aesthetics—provides a
framework for presentation, (Martin-Schramm, 2010, p. 46).

Conclusion
Anthropogenic activity and fossil fuel consumption are destroying our planet’s
ecosystem. All life on this planet is victimized through unbridled indulgence in harmful
activities by powerful societies. Unfortunately, there are victims with no choice—the
powerless have no voice—suffering from other’s negligence.
But there is hope—we have technologies that can institute change. Technology,
properly employed, can empower everyone.
A new dawn approaches!
