Facilitating Economic Localization in Willits, California
Peak Moment 94: Jason Bradford and Brian Weller, co-founders of Willits Economic LocaLization (WELL), discuss their group's approach to educating and enrolling their townsfolk about declining oil and the imperative to reduce dependencies on imported energy, food, and other goods. They view their group as a mid-WIFE: a Watchdog, Incubator, Facilitator and Educator. They're pioneering "rediscovering where we live--and it's exciting." [www.willitseconomiclocalization.org]

Wish we had more guys like these. I think a big hinderance towards moving towards a sustainable future is the lack of leadership to get established groups together and brining together sustainable minded folks. If all of these people aren't brought together to build networks and projects then it is just seperate activities that aren't near as effective compared to if it was together. We will be dependent upon the outside until we are together locally. Thanks for posting!

According to New Scientist, the only country in the world that has sustainable development and a reasonable standard of living is Cuba. We should all copy Cuba. Vote Ron Paul. |
