The poinsettia is a wildflower native to Mexico. It was almost unknown in the U.S. until the Ecke family began selling them in the early 1900s from their flower stand in California. A member of the Ecke family discovered a grafting process that resulted in a much thicker and more colorful poinsettia plant, which became hugely popular at Christmas. The Ecke family did not attempt to patent the grafting process, but instead managed to keep the process a secret for many decades, and so maintained a monopoly on the commercial production of poinsettias for all those years. Eventually, a university professor figured out the grafting technique, and published it in an academic journal. What do you think happened to the price of poinsettias after publication of that article? Why?

1. Environmental ethics is a subject that tends to be discussed in rather obscure situations - rarely as a topic unto itself. However, there is an academic journal “Environmental Ethics” in the CBU library. It may also be in a library closer to you. If you have access, take an hour and browse the contents of a volume and see what issues are being discussed. It could well be that some of the issues being addressed in such a journal will eventually be important issues that you will have to deal with within an EIA. Give a one page summary of the information you reviewed. 2. What ethical view do you hold with regard to the environment? What has led you to this view? Has your view ever changed, and if so - why?
