+ | A tree is defined by lineage but also by 'the context': | ||

+ | We make a checklist and look at it from different perspectives | ||

+ | **Day 2** | ||
+ | |||
+ | - looked at 'Oak du marais' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - look at trees in front of Walvis, planned to be chopped: platans, protest because they are the 2 only trees at that side of the Boulevard (between Yser & Porte de Ninove), and because they will be replaced by 3 new trees planted 3,5 m closer to the bar (effect: the terrace will be half as big) | ||

+ | |||
+ | -> see artificial arboreality as a business? what does it offer in terms of services (oxygen, fruit, fertile soil) - any shared good is value less in the dominant economic ideology of looking at the world -> maybe think differently? | ||
