Hi Michael,
I don't really have a code of ethics that would help you. If you've read my work you know the basic principles: try to show equal consideration for the interests of all you affect. That includes all in your community, of course, but also those you can help around the world, future generations who will come after us, and animals too. If you can build a an entire community that supports those goals, you'll have something unique.
best wishes,
Peter Singer
