Welcome to the site. Please take a moment and check out the "What is a Wiki?" page. There are two videos for you to watch so you may familiarize yourself with wikis and learn how to add content to these pages. Also, if you click on "My Profile" and complete each step to complete it, there are additional videos and tools to further familiarize yourself with WetPaint.
This site was set up to make it easier to exchange information about the proposed Liberty Quarry Project in Fallbrook, CA. Anyone may view this site, but only Project members may author anything here. The purpose of this project is outlined on "The Assignment" page, but to sum up: We, for completion of "Environmental Ethics" (Philosophy 340 @ CSUSM), will evaluate and report on this issue. The areas to be looked at will be application of environmental ethics to a community/region and to a business venture, the impact this will have on the local/regional community, and any possible economic impact that may also be felt (positive or negative). There may be other areas of concentration added or taken out at a later date. All project members, please email me what you would like put on the site; include what the information is (brief summary), where you would like it, and any other special instructions. Visit our News Feeds & Websites. Please enjoy the site and leave comments/suggestions. Please also visit our new photo section. We need photos to add.
