As one of the first projects of an International Collective People's Movement (https://rebrand.ly/peoples-join), which anybody can get started on:

Maps of ecoregions, comprised of local watersheds.

This builds on:

* @matt_heberger's watershed map/tool (https://mghydro.com/watersheds/)

* The Dept of Bioregions (https://deptofbioregion.org/bioregions/ecoregions-watersheds/)

* The #Cascadia Bioregion (https://cascadiabioregion.org/)

* Europe's map of ecological regions (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/figures/dmeer-digital-map-of-european-ecological-regions)

We need a cultural awakening for the way land is valued and cared for.
We see successful examples right here in the U.S.A. with public parks and libraries, along with countless models globally of successful land commons.

Independent Film Society of Colorado and Pikes Peak Foodshed Forum showed the film Food for Change last night.

Great portrayal of the history of cooperatives in the US (could use more on the rich history of cooperatives and BIPOC).

Got a handful of people to sign-up for discussion of forming a local Cooperative Study-Action Circle.

Friends on Social.Coop -- I want to introduce Sean Svette, an educator and activist on local food system issues here in Colorado Springs. Sean is involved in multiple projects and is a joy to work with.
