About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Ethical choice when flying

British Airways will ask passengers to pay a voluntary "green fee" to offset the environmental impact of flying. This donation will be invested in energy-saving projects, and to do this BA has joined forces with Climate Care, an Oxford-based environmental trust. The amount of the fee varies depending on the distance travelled: London to Paris is 5£, London to LA 13£ and London to Sydney 25£. More in article by Ben Webster in today's TimesOnline
