“Our institutions are no longer serving us. We must give birth to institutions that support a new kind of economy, a new kind of philosophy, a new kind of ontology, a new way of being on this planet. And Bioregional Financing Facilities can play a critical role in supporting that transition.”
- Lynne Twist, Founder: Pachamama Alliance
“A comprehensive articulation of some of the many possibilities to re-align financial capital with social and natural capital. It is rich with working examples from around the world that follow Jane Jacobs’s observation that economic development that mimics ecological development, a constant process of “differentiation emerging from generality,” offers hope of a more reliable prosperity.”
- Spencer Beebe, Founder: Ecotrust
“The regenerative economy I imagine MUST be built on a foundation of bioregionally adapted, landscape scale regeneration. Bioregional Financing Facilities are the critical missing infrastructure. A brilliant and timely clarion call!”
- John Fullerton, Author: Regenerative Capitalism
Bioregional Financing Facilities provide a specific, fully integrated, comprehensive pathway for taking ecological economics and bioregionalism from the realm of the theoretical and visionary to operational implementation. In this astonishing work the epochal spiral comes around again in a living architecture of manifestation."
- David Haenke, Author: Ecological Politics and Bioregionalism
“We’re out of time to wait for governments, multilateral financial institutions, banks, donors, and others to get it right. They won’t. Creating locally based, Bioregional Financing Facilities is an approach too long ignored. By spelling out how to do this, the authors have done all of us who seek a finer future a great service. This is an idea that just might work and make a real difference.”
- Hunter Lovins, Author: Natural Capitalism
"This book opens the vitally important discourse about what kind of Bioregional Financing Facilities need to be established urgently to enable divestment from globalized patterns of degeneration and reinvest in bioregional regeneration."
- Daniel Christian Wahl, Author: Designing Regenerative Cultures
“Bioregional Finance Facilities are an aikido move to bring finance into right relationship with place, people and planet. Samantha and Leon have drawn a roadmap to shift the relationship between financial institutions and mechanisms from extractive and degenerative, to reciprocal and regenerative.”
- Gregory Landua, Founder: Regen Network
