Bioregional democracy

Bioregional democracy is a type of democracy where people in a region get together to share their ideas, opinions and solutions to issues that affect their region. This type of democracy focuses on the environment, land, and resources of the region and how they can be used to improve the lives of the people who live there. People in the region will come together and hold meetings or "town hall" type events to discuss things like how to clean the water or air, how to conserve resources, or how to make sure the land is used responsibly. This type of democracy puts the local people in charge of their own future and helps them work together to make decisions about their region.
