"Trees have many values – and their highest value is not as firewood! Trees provide many tangible benefits in terms of shelter, shade, fruit, timber, pollutant filtering, ecological value, and the enhancement of biodiversity – as well as many contributions to civil society, such as providing screening, a sense of place, and direct contact with Nature for urban dwellers. If we reduce our thoughts about trees to just their value as ‘carbon sinks’, we are missing out on all their other benefits." By Duncan Slater. Image by Monica Pinheiro, license CC BY-NC-SA ( CC ).
"The person figured here is not an autonomous, rational actor but an unfolding, shifting biography of culturally and materially specific experiences, relations, and possibilities inflected by each next encounter (...) in uniquely particular ways." (Lucy Suchman, Human-machine reconfigurations: plans and situated actions, 2009, 281)
