A liberated lawn
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not – Dr Seuss
Through the re-localization movement people are taking back power from corporations and reconnecting with nature and other human beings. An inspiring film from Australia describes how to make your own block a Super Hood.
We’re building our own Super Hoods here in New Plymouth (check us out at our Transition New Plymouth Facebook page). I started one in my street by liberating my front lawn to plant potatoes and silver beet (chard).
If and when summer arrives, we’re going to close the road down for a street party.

You had me at the Lorax. This is excellent work showing sustainable change is possible by starting from the ground up rather than the usual heavy handed top-down approach that rewards hierarchy and power. Hope your transition town is successful and looking to forward to hearing more about it.
