Please respond to both of these:
1. Look at the list of ecosystem services on page 27. Does it seem reasonable to attribute an economic value to an ecosystem in that way? Why or why not? Does an ecosystem have an intrinsic or non-use value? How does this relate to John Muir and Gifford Pinchot?
2. Can economic growth be sustainable? Can any form of growth be sustainable? Why? (Take a position and defend it.) This is difficult and will be discussed further in our next class section in addition to this post.

STM 101 BLOG
All,
I apologize for all of the technical problems we've been having. I finally gave up and created this site, which is open to everyone. You can reply to posts I put up (as you should be doing weekly), you can posts questions to the class, and you can post articles, pictures, etc. Hopefully, this will prove to be a much easier medium for discussion. I hope you agree.
