Please use the following information for the remainder of the questions. Peter, Sara and James live by the river and have preferences for water quality (w) and live trees (t). Peter and Sara live upstream and have trees in their land. James lives downstream and does not have trees in his land. James, however, benefits from Peter and Sara's trees because each tree that stands upstream improves the water quality of the river downstream. Besides the positive effect on the water he drinks, James also likes the idea of live trees and gets really sad every time he sees trees turned into timber carried down the stream. Define water quality downstream as W. Define trees in Peter and Sara's property as tp and ts, respectively. (New) James' preferences for the environment are part anthropocentric, part biocentric. True False
