Often interdisciplinary, the Institute explores how an applied human ecology transforms the landscapes of ethics, politics, economics and law, thereby refocussing personal priorities and reshaping public policy. Cultivated within the tradition of constitutional democracy and human rights, the Institute affirms that the responsibilities of stewardship and justice best balance the recently enumerated human right to a livable environment with other competing rights like health, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness. From these principles emerge knowledge and values which assist individual fulfillment, elevate human understanding, and advance world peace. As the Institute also asserts in its campaign for a sustainable society, the common good of every community has an ecological aspect which ranges from treating animals humanely to preserving wilderness areas to perpetuating the environmental goods and services of the global commons. Lastly, the Institute seeks to join the public debate as to how an enlightened anthropocentrism secures a reasonably friendly biosphere for present and future generations while enriching the human spirit. <CENTER> <H2> <B><U><FONT SIZE=+2>RESEARCH PROGRAM</FONT></U></B></H2></CENTER> <B><U><FONT SIZE=+1>ETHICS and POLITICS</FONT></U></B> <DIR><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <I><FONT SIZE=+0>ENVIRONETHICS: A Declaration of Interdependence</FONT></I> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Is a Healthy Earth an Inalienable Right?</FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Can Environmental Rights Bridge the North-South Divide?</FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Bio-Wealth: Extending Value to Genes, Species and Ecosystems</FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>From Rock to Tapestry to Conservation: A Worldview Toward Symbiotic Stewardship</FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Matriotism: Aspiring to Duty, Love, and Loyalty of Mother Earth</FONT></DIR> <B><U><FONT SIZE=+1>ECONOMICS</FONT></U></B> <DIR><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Finance Rescues Rainforest: How Debt-for-Nature Swaps Conserve Biodiversity</FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Free Ride to the Ozone Layer: Shirking an Ecologic Duty</FONT><FONT FACE="Symbol"></FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>A Shortage of Sinks: How Pollution Economics Affect Atmosphere and Ocean</FONT><FONT FACE="Symbol"></FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>A Refreshing Future: How Pollution Permits Clean the Air</FONT><FONT FACE="Symbol"></FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Whale in the Rainforest: The Dilemma of Japanese Whaling and American Ranching</FONT></DIR> <DIR><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>The Amazon as Earth's Lungs: The North Pays for Services Rendered</FONT></DIR> <B><U><FONT SIZE=+1>POLITICAL ECONOMY</FONT></U></B> <DIR><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <I><FONT SIZE=+0>PERPETUAL PEACE: The Environmental Enlightenment Dawns to a Sustainable World</FONT></I><FONT FACE="Symbol"></FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Perpetualism: The Environmental Enlightenment Dawns to Solve The Ecological Problem</FONT><FONT FACE="Symbol"></FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>The Perpetual Trust: To Breach or Not To Breach our Duty to Manage the Global Commons</FONT></DIR> <DIR><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Economics and Ecology Converge through Sustainable Development</FONT></DIR> <B><U><FONT SIZE=+1>LAW</FONT></U></B> <DIR><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>An<B> </B>Efficient Nuisance?: The Economics and the Politics of Tort Law</FONT><FONT FACE="Symbol"></FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Enviro-Tort: Breaching an Ecological Duty</FONT><FONT FACE="Symbol"></FONT> <P><FONT FACE="Symbol">·</FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0>Plato v.
