One of the enduring slogans of the environmental movement has been to “Think Globally, Act Locally”. The first part of this admonition is to be aware of and consider what’s happening on a global scale; these days, that means being aware of the many inter-related aspects of the problem that threaten our communities and life as we know it.
And while we have to Act Locally in order to move towards sustainability, there are many national and world-wide paradigms for positive change that can help us find solutions.
