How does our work ethic impact the environment?
Kate Soper, philosopher
The business-as-usual work week significantly affects how people structure their lives. Environmental philosopher Kate Soper takes this observation a step further, reflecting on some of the effects on the environment of compartmentalizing and organizing our societies according to the paradigms of work and leisure, production and consumer culture.
