The evil people of Edexcel made the first part of this current coursework to be on environmental morals and ethics. 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...

[Abigail]

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.

[Abi]

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.
