How do we move toward building a more sustainable world? By practicing new ways of living through local action and long-term decision-making. As we attempt to create more ''economic localization" and more livable communities, it is the successful use of our vision in action that builds the future we desire and makes it a reality. Over the last few years we have been busy running local action projects, including:
