Meeting tomorrow, usual time in the library, to go over and discuss our interviews and material we have so far for the video.

Recorded interviews today...

"What are ecosystem services and what do you think they provide for us?"

"Nature is humanity's landlord, and we have been getting a great deal on rent and utilities" (Pg. 85)

"Would you be willing to pay?"

Some good references we found:
