I see hope in small cities filled with brave councils who prioritise life before profit and dare to put radical innovation to the test.

The scale of possibilities, dreams, fear, dangers and crises is so vast that it’s easy to feel completely overwhelmed as a normal human being just trying to cope with everyday life. However, during the last few years I’ve seen hopeful actions from small scale municipalities who don’t shy away from putting the safety of future generations before short term profit and traditional mindsets. Instead of following the global or national mainstream pathways they’ve paved the way for brave decision makers to get some slack and challenge norms. Follow link for full article.
