Green Globally, Plant Locally!
It is not enough to resist injustice; we must also envision the alternatives!
As Co-Founder Kevin Danaher says: "The only real antidote to corporate globalization is the local green economy." Building local, equitable economies is central to displacing the structures that give corporations power over people and the planet. By promoting the alternatives, it is our hope to advance our world from profit centered to people centered, from currency to community.
