For anyone interested in exploring broader social and environmental issues related to this bio-region, SCWA's bioregional group will be meeting the last Friday of each month ("Great Friday"). For now, these informal brown-bag lunch meetings will be held at the County Courthouse Sunken Gardens at 12:00 noon. The first "happening" will be Friday, Feb. 25, 2000 at noon.
We'll discuss "community", "sustainability" and "bioregionalism" for this community -which includes business people, students, academics, seniors, trades people, fishing and AG folks, artists, environmentalists and non-environmentalists alike. Through this process we hope to rebuild our community, instill hope, celebrate diversity (human and plant & animal), and begin to protect and rebuild our commons. In the group's discussions so far, we see this broader bioregionalism discussion as a way to preserve social networks, connectivity and "roots" to the community and environment.
