"The only way communities can ensure their economic well-being is to stop chasing multinational firms with no community loyalties, and to start investing in community corporations." ~ Michael H. Shuman in Going Local: Creating Self-Reliant Communities in a Global Age

Relocalization is a strategy to build societies based on the local production of food, energy and goods, and the local development of currency, governance and culture. The main goals of Relocalization are to increase community energy security, to strengthen local economies, and to dramatically improve environmental conditions and social equity.

This group is for BALLE networks, relocalization groups, merchant associations, Post-Carbon Institute groups, etc. who are working to promote sustainability through relocalization.

Join our group to learn, share and discover ways to support relocalization in your own region.
