<nettime> Bioregionalism

Yes, Joe, some of us were and still are connected with the bioregionalism movement, which continues in many descendant efforts (rewilding, community farms, etc) trying under stress of climate change and unrelenting growth-at-any-cost economics to build sustainable communities -- even sustainable cities -- for production of food and other resources based on recognition of regional physiogeographic and ecosystem conditions.

Here in the US Southwest, the movement is inherent, for instance, in a vibrant contemporary back to the land exodus from urban centers reminiscent of the diaspora in Berg and Dasmann's day, with many today moving into little houses out in the boonies, harvesting rainwater rather than pumping scarce groundwater, using wind and solar energy instead of fossil fuels, forming self-assistance networks, exploring alternative (i.e., low water-use) crops, etc.
