		<title>Environmental Economic Geography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Environmental economic geography (EEG) bridges the divide between anthropocentrism and ecocentrism and assesses the interplay between the economy and the environment in a methodological way that neither environmental geography nor economic geography can fully accomplish. With an increasing recognition of the interconnectedness of global ecological conditions and phenomena, a geographical perspective is vital in analyzing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Economics and the Environment in Alberta Oil Sands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The world&#8217;s thirst for oil continues to grow even while proven reserves begin to stagnate and large new discoveries become increasingly infrequent. Multinational corporations such as Exxon, BP, and Chevron, once the largest players in the global oil trade, have been usurped by state-owned companies and increasingly relegated to minority partner status (Rowell 2007, 11).

		<title>David Gibbs on Environmental Economic Geography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In his article Prospects for an Environmental Economic Geography: Linking Ecological Modernization and Regulationist Approaches, David Gibbs presents a strong argument for economic geographers to better integrate environmental issues into their discipline. Incorporating environmental concerns, Gibbs contends, will have &#8220;implications for the subdiscipline&#8217;s existing objects of study (194)&#8221;, as well as &#8220;important implications for future [...]]]></description>

		<title>Developing the Land Ethic and Ecosystem &quot;Health&quot;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aldo Leopold laid the foundation of the modern concept of the land ethic. His instrumental book &#8216;A Sand County Almanac&#8217; sought to construct an ethical standard for man&#8217;s interaction with nature; a realm which Leopold believed was philosophically undefined. &#8221;There is yet no ethic dealing with man&#8217;s relation to land and to the animals and plants [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Hedonic Price Model in Housing Valuation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an article appearing in the Southern Economic Journal in 2002, Ted Gayer, James Hamilton, and Kip Viscusi used the hedonic price model to examine housing price fluxuations that resulted from environmental information and associated perceived cancer risk. Specifically, the authors used housing price changes which occurred &#8220;after the release of a regulatory agency&#8217;s environmental [...]]]></description>

		<title>Contrasting Spiritual Beliefs in Environmental Ethics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Environmental ethics, like most branches of ethics, is often deeply influenced by our faith tradition. Our role on earth and our responsibility to protect the planet is closely tied to our sense of fundamental connectedness and the spiritual teachings that have forged our perspective. Whether we practice one of the Abrahamic religions that have emerged [...]]]></description>

		<title>Charlene Spetnak and Earth Goddess Worship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Modern western society is largely consumed by a static human cycle of life and death but gives little recognition to the cycle of rebirth inherent in nature. Charlene Spetnak attributes this oversight to the rise of patriarchal religions and the subsequent downfall of traditional Earth Goddess worship which had prevailed in pre-Abrahamic traditions. Spetnak argues [...]]]></description>

		<title>Julia &quot;Butterfly&quot; Hill and the &quot;Power of the Trees&quot;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Julia &#8220;Butterfly&#8221; Hill had a profound experience during the two years she spent saving a portion of Redwood forest in Stafford, California. The deep connection she developed with the environment around her was perhaps best personified by the &#8220;power of the trees&#8221; ethos that she embraced. As she was battered close to death by a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Role of Religion in Environmental Ethics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is the creator&#8217;s connection with earth and what is the role of humanity? These are the fundamental questions, posed in one form or another, that gave rise to religion and continue to drive modern spiritual discourse. These two questions provoke war and subjugation, defy scientific explanation, and dictate all manner of interaction within our [...]]]></description>
