Welcome Home
A growing number of people are recognizing that
in order to secure the clean air, water and food that we need to healthfully survive, we have to become guardians
of
the places where we live. People sense the loss in not knowing our neighbors and
natural surroundings, and are discovering that the best way to take care of ourselves
and to get to know our neighbors, is to protect and restore our region.
Bioregionalism recognizes, nurtures, sustains and celebrates our local connections
with:
Land
Plants and Animals
Springs, Rivers, Lakes, Groundwater & Oceans
Air
Families, Friends, Neighbors
Community
Native Traditions
Indigenous Systems of Production & Trade
It is taking the time to learn the possibilities of place. It is a mindfulness of local
environment, history, and community aspirations that leads to a sustainable future.
It relies on safe and renewable sources of food and energy. It ensures employment
by supplying a rich diversity of services within the community, by recycling our
resources, and by exchanging prudent surpluses with other regions. Bioregionalism
is working to satisfy basic needs locally, such as education, health care and self-governance.
The bioregional perspective recreates a widely-shared sense of regional identity
founded
upon a renewed critical awareness of and respect for the integrity of our ecological
communities. People are joining with neighbors to discuss ways we can work together to:
1. Learn what our special local resources are
2. Plan how to best protect and use those natural and cultural resources
3. Exchange our time and energy to best meet our daily and long-term needs
4. Enrich our children's local and planetary knowledge
Security begins by acting responsibly at home.
Welcome home!
This statement was adopted by the first North American Bioregional Congress (NABC) in 1984
and reaffirmed at NABC II and III.
