This essay, to be 1000 - 1500 words in length, applies ethical and sustainability arguments to advocate for or against a policy or practices of the main topic stated that makes affordable clean energy alternatives accessible to low-income residents of a major US city. An example of such a policy is the Emerald Cities Collaborative, in which Seattle participates along with overall other major cites (http://emeraldcities.org/cities/seattle/news/ec-seattle-helps-bring-solar-power-to-affordable-housing). Your essay should draw from the various approaches to justice and sustainability in the readings (Here readings refer to course textbook page 1-72). It should also present one counter argument, followed by a refutation that shows the greater persuasiveness and reasonableness of your own position. You will need to show why the theory supporting your argument is stronger than the theory opposing it. You should also describe how your proposed policy would work. Your main sources should be our course textbooks and readings; additional articles from the literature and/or the news are required (with links, at least 2).
