Rock-climbing enthusiast and fellow Cascadian, Dallin Wilson, demonstrates how we can all increase our health and happiness by living a bioregional lifestyle. He has been climbing for as long as he can remember. Wilson enjoys the physical and mental health of connecting with the great outdoors in such a thrilling way. “There is something so pure about climbing. Something so simple yet epic: putting a human against nature in such a dramatic way,” Wilson said.

One Planet Living outlines ten key principles of living a bioregional lifestyle. To celebrate bioregion and Cascadia, we will begin a ten week series on each of the ten principles, exploring them each in more depth. “Why are they important?”, “What does it look like in Cascadia?”, “What can I or fellow Cascadians do?” These are just a few of the questions this series will aim to answer about each of the ten principles.
