So, when people ask me for one thing they can do to bring about a more positive future, I suggest they seek out stories of real change that are happening right now. I’m talking about local food projects, renewable energy projects and neighbourhoods coming together to create their own solutions.
I get your frustration about economic realities, but many local community projects (like community solar) actually help people save money and build resilience - check out gearscouts.com for power stations that some neighborhoods are using as backup during outages or as part of community emergency prepardness networks.
