We must create things that will sustain: local economies, governments at all levels, health care, habits, practices.

As you may or may not know, I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. Recognizing and understanding how impactful sustainability on all levels could and should be is a difficult mind shift for some. Once realized, it can breed local economies and growth for the town, region, and states. Cradle to cradle industry and buy local could revolutionize this economy.
