Step 1: Set the scene To set the scene for this assessment we want you to first try andestimate your own ecological footprint. There are probably many ecological footprint calculators on the webbut we suggest this one because the data used in the graphs youhave just seen is sourced from the same site: If this one doesn't work, you can just google "ecological footprintcalculator" and I'm sure you will find another one. Step 2: Write a comment about your footprint Right, now that you have an idea of what your ecological footprint is,you are going to do what you have done in most of the assessmentsup until now. You are going to post a comment (4 or 5 paragraphsthis time) in the discussion forum below. Sounds simple enough right? Well yes and no. FORUM Assessment  Your answer must contain all of the following parts: Part A You need to say something about your footprint based on what youhave just read in the "Sustainability?" section. How do you feel aboutthis result? Part B Next we want you to think back to your previous assessment,assessment 06. In that assignment that dealt with saving the rhino,we asked you to think about the essentially virtue ethics questions of:"So where do I fit in in this?" In light of what you have discovered in this assessment in relation toyour own ecological footprint - i.e. your own engagement with nature- we want you to critically reflect on the answer to the "So where do Ifit in in this?" question that you submitted in assessment 06. Do you think that the answer might need some adjustment or are youstill happy that it is an accurate and truthful reflection on your arête ? Part C - counts 60% of the total grade Finally, the technical part is that we also want you to think about yourecological footprint from the perspective of some of the stuff youlearned about in the ethics core. In particular we want you to thinkback on three of the traditions: - " Do the right thing - Deontology" - Here we want you to thinkabout the sustainability problem from the perspective of Kant's categorical imperative (see Kant do it! ); - “ Fair’s Fair - Distributive Justice ” – here you need to thinkabout what is fair for our children - for future generations - using Rawls' principle of equality of fair opportunity specifically(see How to share .... John Rawls () ) - "Greenies - Environmental Ethics" - we want you to considerthe issues we have just outlined from an anthropocentric position specifically. Remember we must be able to see from your use of these that youhave actually understood the theory in question (the categoricalimperative, the veil of ignorance, and anthropocentric thinking). If wedon't see this you will not pass this assessment.
