We are the heros we've been waiting for!

Watching the debacle that is happening in the Gulf with the BP oil spill, I realize how we can get moving in a better direction. Lots of communities are adopting the Transition Town blueprint, and using it to guide them in re-localizing their towns and cities. The people are moving away from fossil fuel dependency, and not waiting for the government or corporations to do it for them! By becoming more locally self reliant, we can create a more equitable and sustainable economy, work with nature, and stop feeding the rapacious corporations that are destroying this planet we inhabit (not own).

Many are already getting much of their food grown locally. Let's form a community development corporation, and use the collective wealth of all of us to jump start micro enterprises to craft biodiesel, build our furniture, jewelry, art, and create living wage jobs right here! Buying locally is great, and let's complete the circle by investing locally, in our neighbors.
