3140> Going Local: Bill McKibben Kicks Off a Series on Local Economies 

We’ve heard you loud and clear: on just about every conference call we’ve
hosted, you’ve told us that rebuilding local economies is a top priority for
you and your communities.

So we’re thrilled to have Bill McKibben
<http://www.orton.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1453&qid=13
3140>  kick off our new Local Economies conference call series
<http://www.orton.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1454&qid=13
3140> . He’ll lead a discussion about why we need to stop focusing on more,
start focusing on better, and why going local is the best way to do that.

Next Call

He’ll share the strong case he makes in Deep Economy
<http://www.orton.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1458&qid=13
3140>  for how our economic system is broken, and all the reasons (from
carbon dioxide levels to the psychology of happiness) to move toward more
durable, grounded local economies and more connected, resilient communities.

Then join us for three more calls
