In Business Ethics Chapter 9(Business and Environmental Sustainability), the authors note that “the opening chapters of this text introduced ethics in terms of practical reasoning.  Deciding what we should do is the ultimate goal of practical reason, and our values are those standards that encourage us to act one way rather than another.  Our values provided us with reasons for acting” (p. 343). The purpose of this assignment is to challenge you to reflect on your own values and decisions with respect to concern for our natural environment.  For this application paper, you are to craft an academic paper that addresses the following:

What values do you hold, and what decisions have you made, that reflect your level of concern for our natural environment?
What reasons would you offer to business leaders to promote protection of our natural environment from degradation?
Why should business leaders be concerned with, and value, our natural world?
Describe the ethical issues and environmental responsibilities that you believe apply to business operations, and explain your reasoning.
