Have a look at this website.

I googled quite a few of those questions and found the answers easily.

The evil people of Edexcel made the first part of this current coursework to be on environmental morals and ethics. :rolleyes: :lol: I have to write 4 marks worth. I think I have enough on ethics but I think I need a few more on morals. Can anyone suggest any more points on either? :)

Morals

• Stewardship
• We have a duty to protect animals and plants that can't protect themselves
• we have a duty make sure there is enough resources for the future generations
• We need to stop 'The sixth extinction' - (current extinction of species)
• a lot of the destruction is unnecessary
• we need to do good in the world, let it flourish, not keep putting chemicals into it and carry on unsustainable ways of living
• moral duty to conserve the natural resources, choices we make affect the world, further limits resources, we have to stop being greedy
• we have to recycle, as we are using resources faster than they can be replaced e.g. oil, aluminium
• we have a duty to look at the types of energy we use – coal, oil etc are not renewable, we have to invest more in renewable resources that will provide us with green energy

Ethics

• we have a responsibility to provide a habitable world for future generations.
• Conserve for future generations to enjoy
• we have to conserve the environment for people who do not have the money or resources to do so themselves
• We cannot knowingly let species be extinct
• We have to be more responsible where we plant crops and farm animals, and what areas of land we use
• Every living thing has the right to exist, if we were in the situation of all the animals and plants, wouldn't we want to be saved
• If we keep on cutting down all the trees, won't the o2 level in the world decrease
• Humans are leading themselves into extinction not only of animals but of ourselves
• We need to create more sustainable resources e.g. tree planting where there has been deforestation
• encourage people in developed countries to be responsible with energy and more green so that the developing countries that are most affected by climate change will be better off
• we need to stop humans from destroying environments for short term gain, e.g. deforestation
• we cant let people with power e.g. George bush, from rushing through last minute laws that will drastically affect the environment
• we should be teaching people sustainable methods of living alongside the environment
• make sure there is as much biodiversity as possible, make sure food chains remain
• we shouldn't ignore the environment for the sake of short term greed

Does anyone happen to know how to reference a speech in Harvard APA style? I have a transcription of a speech, but not the original recording, so i'm not sure what form the referencing should be in...

Do you mean APA as in American Psych Association? Harvard and APA are two different systems as far as I'm aware.

How to reference a sound recording in Havard.

Harvard APA is a system too, i think. Google it.

The thing is, i don't have the recording, i have a transcript of the recording. So i can't reference it as a sound recording, because it's not. So it must be some kind of written form of referencing, but i don't know which.
