Tompkins County Relocalization Project

[Tompkins County Relocalization Project <tcrp-news AT lists.ibiblio.org>]

An interesting example:

This group, based in Brattleboro, VT, seems to be doing a great
job of organizing their area to deal with energy descent.  Here in
Tompkins County, each project area is the responsibility of a
separate sustainability group -- which is both a weakness and a
strength.  It makes organization more difficult, but in the end I
think more effective in the totality of what can be accomplished.
It will be interesting to see which forms of organization will
have the greatest impact as these emerging local efforts progress
along their own paths.

P.S. Note that tcrp-news is a one-way list; you can't post to it.
If there's ever a desire to form an interactive list dedicated
specifically to energy descent in Tompkins County, it would be
easy enough to implement, but based on experience with local
sustainability mail lists, I'm not about to start up another one
unless someone is willing to moderate.  Open-ended discussions,
including forwards of items relayed to tcrp-news, can take place
on the Sustainable Tompkins list:
