Clean up Day 1

Civic Biodesign can easily stay an academic and philosophical pursuit. That is not the goal. The goal is understanding system wellness and how to create new conditions. Then get busy with the dirty work of changing and creating conditions.

A year and a half ago we began a partnership with the UGM and started learning about the wellness of the Whittier neighborhood in Sioux Falls.

Yesterday is a prime example of what Civic Biodesign looks like in action. Under the keen partnership with Ian Grove, Tamara Grove, and other community leaders our Fellow Jordan Deffenbaugh was able to take direct community action on condition creation.

Please read the post below. Ask Ian, Tamara, or Jordan about it. Oh and ask them about this Community Revitalization Think Tank they are working on. It’s rad and makes a real difference.
