> We are on the cusp of an era of unprecedented change - change that we
> can hardly even imagine.
> 
> Our modern world is built of an assumption of unlimited growth driven by
> abundant cheap energy.  But the end of this road is now in sight. Our
> future depends on reinventing ourselves in harmony with the natural
> limits of our planet.  And doing it quickly.
> 
> While action by governments and corporations is essential, it is the
> strength and resilience of our communities that will ultimately make the
> difference. 
> 
> In community we are best able to adapt and to innovate.  This is where
> the inertia of our social and political institutions is weakest, our
> motivation strong, our values clear, and our willingness to collaborate
> with others the greatest.  In community we care the most, feel most
> connected to each other and to place, and are most confident to act.
> 
> Going Local is a unique opportunity to explore what we know about
> building strong, adaptable communities.  It offers a chance to share the
> experience of some of the pioneers of sustainable local economies.  It
> will be a place to build the connections for learning from each others
> experiences as we move into an unknown future.
> So make a commitment to your sense of community, your love of the Earth,
> and to your own ability to learn and relearn in action.
> 
> This is how we can create a future for our children to believe in.
