Local Projects
Cultivating the Soil
Sustainable lifestyles in isolation are not sustainable. We need to have environments in which to interact and express these values. That will keep passionate residents engaged and excited about our city. It will also spread if eco-conscious individuals organize and become change agents in their various circles of influence.
We intend each seed project to be a replicable model upon which others can draw inspiration for what is possible in their own neighborhood or organization. Documentation is shared on the Home Page, removing hurdles for others to follow suit. Steal everything you see here!
