The Ethical Choices Program aims to empower high-school students
to make thoughtful, responsible lifestyle decisions, which will
be essential if our communities are to live harmoniously and sustainably.
While this program looks at issues related to modern agriculture
and its impact on the environment, our health, and farmed animals;
it challenges students to use critical thinking skills that are
important in all walks of life.
The Ethical Choices Program stresses mindfulness, which is essential
for having one's choices accord with one's values. This includes
thinking about how our choices impact other individuals, both nearby
and far away, and evaluating the reliability of information sources.
Through our program, students are exposed to different alternatives,
which enable them to improve their health, the state of the environment,
and decrease animal suffering.
