Environmental Ethics — When Good Values Collide
The young adult engages with genuine ethical dilemmas in environmental policy — cases where economic growth clashes with conservation, where individual action meets systemic inertia, where justice for communities today conflicts with sustainability for generations tomorrow. This isn't environmental cheerleading; it's the hard work of thinking through tradeoffs that have no clean answers. Through structured discussion, the young adult reveals ethical reasoning about environmental issues, systems awareness, and the capacity for nuanced position-taking under genuine moral complexity.

What you'll need
No materials required, though having a phone available for quick fact lookups can enrich the discussion. This conversation works best when both participants are willing to hold complexity rather than retreat to slogans. If either the young adult or parent has strong pre-existing environmental views, challenge them to engage with the strongest version of the opposing argument rather than dismissing it.
