About This Site
This site was started in February, 2009, as a video clearinghouse of ideas from all over the world that might be transplanted to other locations. It will be exactly what its name states: a demonstration of thinking global but acting local. The content will be "rich media", an amalgam of text, graphics, and video. (Amalgam? My father was a dentist. I grew up around that word but I became a documentary film maker.)
It will focus on a range of stories about agriculture, sustainable economic development, appropriate technology and, well, whatever we feel is important. We? I will solicit and act on ideas and suggestions from the guests on this site. Contact me here.
