In Memoriam - Peter Berg (1937-2011) From the SF Chronicle: An actor and playwright with the San Francisco Mime Troupe and a co-founder of the Diggers in the '60s, he also founded Planet Drum Foundation, an ecological, educational nonprofit, and became internationally recognized as a leading advocate for a concept known as bioregionalism. Bioregionalism, which Mr. Berg is credited with developing, relies on natural systems, such as watersheds, as the basis from which to develop sustainable societies... Planet Drum Foundation: A voice for Bioreginal sustainability, education and culture Ralph presented the following remarks at his memorial: What I learned from Peter Berg-- I first encountered Peter’s work when I was at the California Institute of Integral Studies, developing and teaching courses on ecopsychology and ecological consciousness. I came to understand the significance of bioregionalism as one of several radical movements – like deep ecology and ecofeminism – that were not just addressing particular environmental problems, but challenging the basic philosophical assumptions of the dominant modern worldview.
