Our @AndTheFuture_ book club will meet up to discuss @HelenaNHodge's Local is our future tomorrow evening (BST): https://bit.ly/30AGFL2  You can join even if you haven't read the book. I'm looking forward to the discussion about localisation and globalisation.

Quotes in this thread: "The need for diversity extends down to every blade of grass […] Erasing diversity is incompatible with life. For that reason, globalization — which systematically replaces diversity with monoculture — is also incompatible with life".

"Localization isn't about returning to the past. Instead it asks us to recognize what older cultures did well: They relied on local resources & knowledge to meet people's material needs […] they put high value on community ties, which enabled them to meet psychological need[s]."
