Commons Hero Award

Present this award to people you know who are guardians and generators of the Commons. Then write us 50 words or less describing that person's work, and we'll post their Award and story on this site for a year.

Some examples of worthy recipients of the Hero/ine of the Commons Award include:

  • boulevard gardeners (those who plant for others' enjoyment)
  • bay and river "Keepers"
  • library advocates
  • one who plows her neighbor's walk
  • a warrior for clean and open oceans
  • those who attempt to keep the airwaves in the public sector

...use your imagination and let us know. We hope that both you and your awardees will become active participants in the growing community of those who recognize one another's efforts as Sustainers of the Commons.
