Can anyone on the list supply me with some published critiques of
utilitarian ethics as a basis for environmental ethics. I'm pretty sure
Eugene Hargrove and others have done some work on this, but the references
to not come to mind this morning. I have a student using cost/benefit
analysis on prescribed burns and he wants to use utilitarian theory as the
analytical tool. He is up on the basics, but needs some critiques for this
methods section. Any help will be appreciated.

What we lost with that wild, primal existence
was a way of being for which the era of
agriculture and civilization lacks counterpoise.
Human life is the poorer for it.
