Creative Localisation: A community based approach to ecological civilisation
Six Dimensions of Creative Localization
Michael Witmer, the Cobb Institute: A Community of Process and Practice
- Energy: Generating power locally from renewable sources such as solar, wind and hydrogen, and where possible, using technology manufactured locally.
- Food: Growing food locally (or at least regionally) using regenerative agriculture techniques that work cooperatively with nature and the earth
- Housing: Developing affordable housing in blended neighborhoods that encourage mutual support.
- Education: Educating the whole person with values rooted in humanity, community and ecology, not just to prepare them for jobs, but to grow well-rounded happy people.
- Culture: Developing a culture that values balance, sufficiency, human freedom and creative expression, rather than acquisition, consumption and indebted servitude.
- Economics: Pursuing economic policies that maximize human happiness and fulfillment, not perpetual growth."
