Definition

Ecological commoning (Weber). The practice of participating in and sustaining shared ecological conditions through locally situated arrangements of use, care, mutual accommodation, and restraint. Extending the idea of the commons beyond human resource management, Weber understands commoning as a material and meaningful relationship in which participants and their living environment mutually transform one another. It seeks to preserve the conditions under which individual beings and the wider ecological community can continue to flourish.
