Brandon Letsinger is here to talk to us about something he is very passionate about: bioregionalism and the Cascadia movement. He has spent his life working to change systems for the better, and he feels that focusing on bioregionalism is the most sustainable and regenerative form of creating a better world. In this episode, Brandon shares the pathway he took to finding bioregionalism and how it has evolved over time - from founding CascadiaNow! to co-organizing Regenerate Cascadia. His journey to learn more about democratic ways of living, human rights and sustainability have taken him around the world, from ecocamp and medical infrastructure building in Germany and Scotland, to living in Tunisia after the Arab Spring, to living and working in Beijing for the French and German Chambers of Commerce.
