"Many people think going local is buying 5 acres, building a house & growing a garden. That can be part of it, but if you don’t know your neighbors, share your produce, drive the neighbor kids to school & all the mundane tasks of belonging, you are not, yet, going local in any useful sense."

"When you go local, you are in a different world, at a different pace..."

As long as our community is at the "mercy" of big business, we can't survive, much less thrive. We must stop the rape & pillage of our labor & resources. We must bypass their system.

"We must find ways to work together where we can, in our cities & states, communities & bio-regions, to build the kind of future we want. Otherwise we are at the mercy of forces that will overwhelm us."

To confront the oligarchy, we need to build power at the community level

If social, economic, ecological and political breakdowns intensify, we will have created strong communities capable of weathering the storms. We cannot know if this will be enough. What we can know is that we will be pursuing the kind of future that leads to a world more in tune with the needs of people and nature. We have to try.

A long rambly article that starts with the environment and ends with politics and oligarchs...but I wanted to share this part, which I think is the most important part.

The "market" is not some magic thing that came to us from the void. We make it ourselves, every day. And if the greedy will not voluntarily stop victimizing people, then local and state laws must step in to limit them.

Nobody "deserves" to victimize others.
