So c schumacher north workshop
The document discusses the concept of commons resources and their stewardship for social renewal. It outlines that commons resources include the biosphere, physiosphere, noosphere, and cultural commons. These resources are either inherited from nature or constitute common stock, and are stewarded in a commons or provided as public goods. Key features of commons include moving from an individual mindset to a collective one, networked civil society, social charters, co-production, co-governance models, and partnership with government. Examples of commons discussed include community bills of rights, food and forest commons, transition towns, and open source/creative commons models.
