Just where is "here"? Bioregions are the way the world divides up naturally -- defined by climate, by watershed, by mountains, by travel routes. But it's not the way we're used to looking at the world, and identifying the place we live. Activists like Peter Berg of the Planet Drum Foundation, and cartographer Doug Abberley are trying to reconnect us with our natural neighborhood. Community members are being encouraged to create their own maps that record the stored information of people who know the place. The process of creating such maps has become a wonderful way of building community, and can provide a powerful blueprint for social change.
