The rain forest example does not clarify what is required to be an ethical person -- only the statement that it is or isn't ethical.

Your commitments toward your religious duties measure you on ethical scale.
Religion is complete ethical law to give right directions to wandering and wild thoughts and actions.

I think that morality and ethics are two seperate things.
Being ethical is treating others fairly, being on time, communication, not stealing, or if you are a boss then being a fair boss, etc.
Ethics applies to business and professionalism. I think it is important to be ethical, but I also think there is a point where ethics needs to take a back seat to what is best for your situation.
I consider myself a halfway ethical worker, I want to be a good employee, but I would drop my employer like a fly if it meant a better opportunity for myself.

A sense of right and wrong and the drive or impulse to act on these no matter the occasion. Example: You are in a room alone with your best friends girl friend and she is stoned out of her mind. She wants to make it with you....What do you do? your answer will show your morals and ethical mind set right away.
You have to want to do the right thing all the time no matter what. You are driven to do the right thing by some force within your nature that makes it abhorrent to do otherwise. That will be ten points please.

well, first of all, you can not use toilet paper.....80% of our paper products come from rain forrest trees, so, if you are a boogee consumer, buy that toilet paper that falls apart when you wipe....it is crazy expensive.....or, if you are a freak unconsumer, get a used flannel sheet from thrift store or free table, cut it into sqaures, stack the squares on the back of your toilet....use them to wipe....rinse them out and put them in a small bathroom trash can....wash your hands really well with warm water and soap.....when the "wipeys" are almost gone, wash them.....in the washer....then dry them.....you should be able to use these for about three years......i have not wiped myself with the rainforrest in 5 years.....let the wipey revolution begin!....it is unethical to wipe your a** with the rainforrest

Morality
The difference between right and wrong, and how to discern which is which, followed by the immediate circumstancial response.
