Lisa the Tree Hugger/References

== Trivia ==
*Bart's ninja skills and the music when he's handing out menus are references to the film The Matrix.
*Jesse says that he is "Vegan Level 5", which supposedly means he doesn't eat anything that casts a shadow, however, everything casts a shadow.
*When Lisa sets up camp on the tree branch and comments on the view, we see the Alps, the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, and the World Trade Center in New York in the distance (in which this episode aired ten months before 9/11), all of which is seen from the height of a tree is highly illogical. (Not to mention the geographical inconsistencies.)
*The last instance in which the town of Springfield thought a Simpsons family member had died was in Mother Simpson.
*The song at the end of the episode, "This Log Is My Log", is a parody version of the song This Land Is Your Land, which was originally recorded by Woody Guthrie in 1944 and later recorded in the 1960s by several musicians of the New Folk Movement.
*In The Simpsons Game, the fourth level is based off this episode.
== Cultural references ==
*Lisa's quest to save Springfield's oldest redwood tree by living in it is a reference to the real-life story of Julia Butterfly Hill and a redwood tree called "Luna". Hill lived in the tree for two years and succeeded in preventing it from being cut down by loggers. The details of Lisa's day-to-day existence in her tree (such as hauling supplies up to her tent by a rope) are very similar to Hill's.
*When the giant log destroys Kentucky Fried Panda, Homer exclaims "No! It was finger-ling-ling good!", which is a reference to Kentucky Fried Chicken and its slogan, "Finger-Lickin' Good", and to either Ling-Ling or Ling Ling, both of whom were famous giant pandas.
*A game system The Gamestation 256 is a parody on and .
*There was a Simpsons Game level of the same name.
==Goofs==
*In the crowd of people:
**Despite her death in "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily", Maude Flanders is seen.
**Lenny Leonard has gray hair.
**The rims of Elizabeth Hoover's glasses are much thicker than they usually are.
*When Bart tosses his game system in the fireplace, it yells, "No! I can still make you happy! To the max!" The closed captions have the line as, "Warning: store in a cool, dry place. A cool dry place!"
*Bart tells Marge that he doesn't have a cap during Marge's "Put it in your cap" song. Apparently he -- and, more realistically, the writers -- forgot the early episodes in which Bart had a lucky red cap. Knowing what he and his family had been through in the time since it can be assumed Bart got rid of or lost the cap at some point
