Prompted Post, Week #5

This Week I am going to be talking about ethics. I found a code of ethics for environmental science written by the National Registry of Environmental Professionals. Their ethics include....

~ Practice only in areas where they have professional competence and is safe
~  Try to avoid any conflict of interest to the environmental issues by doing anything possible to prevent them
~ Always carry out their duties in a professional way abiding by the laws
~Use the best environmental science principles to protect the enviro
~ To abide by all levels of government policy towards the environment
~ be conscious of environmental quality and make safe laws towards it
~ Manage areas of work to be safe and healthy as well as protect employees
~ Always put the negative and positive impacts of the activities you did in writing

These relate to my own ethics because I always abide by the laws that are given and do not think of going outside of them. I would never do anything that I was not certified to do either. When doing things I personally always try to do my best to put environmental safety first. Also I try to have a safe environment for myself and others around me. Lastly I also like to write down things that happened to get all of the details hammered out after the fact of doing a task.

3 Ways in which what I am doing in college will apply to my career later on in life and referencing the guidelines include...

1. How we learn about always documenting our results, positive, and negative will help me in my career to collect data to get more accurate research about the environment
2. The in their field projects we do in my ESA 200 class will help me in my career because I will have had experiences working in the environmental field
3. We learned about always abiding by the laws when carrying out experiments and research this will help me to know my limitations when I am actually working in the filed.
