We are removed from our sense of place and belonging. A geographical area whose boundaries are roughly determined by nature rather than human beings. One bioregion is distinguished from another by characteristics of flora, fauna, water, climate, rocks, soils, land forms, and the human settlements, cultures, and communities these characteristics have spawned. It is at this level that we can reach our fullest potential and best effect social change. Local communities need to network to empower our bioregional communities.
Human communities are integral parts of the larger bioregional and planetary life communities.
On a personal level, we need to become free of consumerist, individualist mentalities and become able to distinguish real needs from conditioned wants. We are responsible for our own space, however big our own space is. Although the Bioregionalist movement is only twenty years old, the essence of Bioregionalism is one of the oldest of human traditions. Bioregionalists recognise that we are all completely immersed in and dependent on a living ecosystem. Bioregionalism advocates orientation of sustainability and regeneration around a given bioregion.
