Commons Sense Education

What even IS the Commons? What does being part of the Commons mean for us?

Commons Sense is a broadcast teaching on the philosophical, historical, and practical roots of the Commons, particularly the “commons sense” that we all share responsibility for our most elemental resources – the land, the water, the air, and each other. Drawing on Elinor Ostrom's Nobel Prize-winning research, Indigenous stewardship traditions, and the practical wisdom of communities that never stopped commoning, we educate participants in the learning journey about practical paths toward bioregional self-organizing, resiliency, and regeneration that address the Common Good.
