moral standards
-A "habit" is a useful word
for describing the practice
of virtue.

VIRTUE •A virtue is a good habit,
whether of mind or heart.
•It is a power, an internal
characteristic to act well.
•It is combining a sense of the
will and the mind to act on
behalf of value.

ENVIRONMENTAL
VIRTUEETHICS
•Virtue ethics can be
particularly helpful for any
kind of leadership because
they nurture the formation of
character, the lasting habits of
the heart and mind necessary
to effect positive change in
the world.

strength of character,
