Planet Drum's Vision:
What approach can we take to move beyond environmental protests and actually begin
living sustainably wherever we are located?
Planet Drum was founded in 1973 to provide an effective grassroots approach to ecology
that emphasizes sustainability, community self-determination and regional self-reliance.
In association with community activists and ecologists, Planet Drum developed the concept
of a bioregion: a distinct area with coherent and interconnected plant and animal
communities, and natural systems, often defined by a watershed. A bioregion is a whole
"life-place" with unique requirements for human inhabitation so that it will not
be disrupted and injured. Through its projects, publications, speakers, and workshops,
Planet Drum helps start new bioregional groups and encourages local organizations and
individuals to find ways to live within the natural confines of bioregions.
