Now on with Lies, Damn Lies and statistics. Then we discuss effects on our local environment, community gardens and how local energy production is improving our communities.

We are working to bring greater awareness to our local communities and how important they are. We as individuals can have a significant impact on the quality of our communities. Our regions, states and countries are simply a collection of local communities working together. If we are able to make a positive change where we live, then that will lead to better outcomes at the regional, state and national level.
