General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The Goldman Sachs Project to take over Europe nearly complete [View all]There is a PBS series that highlights a few communities (Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle etc.) that have tried to restore some areas to pre-development Eco-systems.
There is a series of TED videos that has architects discussing restoring communities to a more 'green' state. There is the work done by Will Allen in Milwaukee and Joel Saladin's farm. Local garden school lunch programs and edible community gardens in England.
The movement is widespread and active.
What's missing is a unifying organization. We all got taken to the cleaners by the bankers in the last recession; we need a plan to make what 'we' control have more value, and what 'they' control have less value.
Occupy was a nuisance to Wall Street, but they didn't do much damage to them. The movement needs to support businesses that they want to support and condemn businesses they want to condemn. We aren't going to do any damage to the people who control the money without working together at least some.
In the same manner that we all eat at Chick-fil-A and Papa Johns. Target someone and let them change or fall by the way side.
