After some introductory remarks in section 1 on the bioregionalism Project, section 2 advances an outline of bioregionalism in view of its implementation in communities. Section 3 examines the concepts of community and locality, assessing their respective relevance for bioregionalism. In turn, section 4 addresses concerns regarding the aims and scope of bioregionalism. In particular, I intend to demonstrate that the bioregionalist move needs yet further development in order to thoroughly represent a live alternative in the environmental ethical debate on sustainabillty and borderline.References
