The Charter of the Forest - doesn't that sound wonderful, even just the name of the thing? It's a historic charter (800 years old) that is all about protecting people's access to resources - making sure that the poor could gather wood from the forest, use the commons, etc.

Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.
