It has taken many hours, but I have read Drawdown carefully in its entirety. Shouldn't that challenge be worth something?

REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Generation Watch a Video about Methane Digesters

What does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?

  David - - I've been thinking about scale a lot.

I do appreciate that in the Upper Valley, though, we are demonstrating strategies that others can adapt to their own communities. - Lyn
