Home! A Bioregional Reader Andruss, Van, Plant, Christopher, Plant, Judith, Wright, Eleanor Publisher:  New Society Publishers, Gabriola Island, Canada Year Published:  1990   Pages:  181pp   ISBN:  1-55092-007-3 Resource Type:  Book A guide to the vision and strategy of bioregionalism. Abstract:  Home! is a guide to the vision and strategy of bioregionalism. It is a collection of articles, short stories and poems that advocate a better relationship between human communities and the Earth. The writings are by activists and supporters of the environmental movement who want to go beyond green consumerism and wilderness preservation to make it possible for us to live harmoniously with the land. Contributors aim to describe their own experiences with supporting the environment and living within the limits of its regenerative powers. An obvious goal is to stop mass-consumption of the Earth's resources. The articles are divided under five headings: What is Bioregionalism?; Living in Place; Nature, Culture and Community; Reinhabitation and Restoration; and Bioregional Organizing and Politics. They provide resources for understanding what should be done about environmental crises and why. The visions of these activists are meant to encourage ecologically sustainable communities. These communities should be self-governed, and this book is a resource to guide such a project. It provides information and advice for aspiring green communities. "The bioregional perspective recreates a widely-shared sense of regional identity founded upon a renewed critical awareness and respect for the integrity of our ecological communities." It is an alternative way of living, one that seeks to support the Earth for generations to come.
