What will it take to manage our common resources?
We know one thing for sure: it will take ALL of us!
Over Memorial Day weekend, we will join together to explore — through purposeful presentations and deep dialogue — the role that each one of us has to protect our common good.
Together we will:
• learn about emerging sociological and economic principles related to managing our resources
• discuss the fundamental theories and practices of PROUT and the Commons
• discover the most effective ways to influence legislation and policy at the state, county, and regional level
• create effective advocacy teams with focused plans of action …and have some fun!
We’re looking forward to seeing you Memorial Day weekend.
