1. Situated contexts
1.1. Berkeley campus
1.1.1. Two year tree sit-in!
1.1.2. Is it really about the trees, or is it about something bigger?
1.1.3. LC campus almost had a similar sit-in, at present site of Gregg Pavilion
1.2. Shade grown coffee
1.2.1. Do you drink coffee? Are you sure your habit has no production site impacts?
1.2.2. Open vs. shade grown coffee: Is the latter a clear alternative?
2. Historical dimensions
2.1. Trees & civilization: Historically understood as outside human realm, whether feared or venerated
2.2. Trees & change: Clementsian succession vs. disturbance ecology
2.3. Deforestation: Widely different rates by region (Fig. 10.2)
2.4. Trees in future: Mostly plantations?
2.5. Trees & biodiversity: Opportunities for reconcilation ecology?
3. Population & markets
3.1. Forest transition theory
3.1.1. Economic development leads to initial forest depletion…and later forest regrowth!
3.1.2. Some problems
3.1.2.1. Secondary forest different from primary forest
3.1.2.2. Not at all true in e.g. Ghana…maybe recovery in some sites is linked to deforestation elsewhere?
4. Political economy
4.1. Deforestation for commodity production (Table 10.2)
4.2. Deforestation as uneven development (Table 10.3)
5. Ethics
5.1. Should trees have standing?
5.1.1. Christopher Stone: Legal rights to trees
5.1.2. More broadly, moral rights to trees (vs. market & political economy approaches)
5.2. Radical [fr. Latin "root"] vs. reformist solutions
5.2.1. Radical eco-thought
5.2.1.1. = Deep ecology? But remember critiques!
5.2.1.2. = Ecosocialism? But remember critiques!
5.2.2. Radical eco-action
5.2.2.1. Conflicting with/challenging existing social/legal/economic institutions
5.2.2.2. Ex's: Civil disobedience/monkeywrenching vs. lobbying/voting
