Economic Localization: A Model for Sustainable Community
Second in a series of community events that started with local author David Korten's 2006 Great Turning Earth Day Presentation, we present Economic Localization: A Model for Sustainable Community.
Thursday, July 20, 2006 7-9pm
Bainbridge Commons
(Donations gladly accepted to cover costs)
Join us for this very special, interactive evening with Brian Weller, co-founder of Willits Economic Relocalization (WELL): the small town "adhocracy" that started a unique movement for sustainability in Northern California.
Learn how economic localization addresses the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social justice while addressing critical issues of energy independence, food security, transportation, emergency management, and more.
