Earth Commons

"If bees believed in enclosures, we'd be in trouble." ?? This quote (shared by one of our attendees) reflects a key takeaway from our time in Thailand: Earth's shared resources—the ultimate commons—thrive through openness, collaboration, and collective care. During our Residency, Design Jam, Hackathon, and Funding the Commons Bangkok, Earth Commons added an essential layer to the conversation, ensuring we kept ecosystems and planetary stewardship at the forefront of our thinking. Grateful to everyone who brought their energy, ideas, and creativity to these events. We can’t wait to keep exploring solutions for the commons together.???
