Living Locally: A Choice
As Society becomes more globally connected through technology and media, we believe that people will turn more to their local community and neighbors to find a grounding, social systems and lifestyles that will protect, provide for and support them.
Currently, most people feel an increasing degree of disconnection from their neighbors and local community. We believe social technology, and in big part, Facebook, will begin to bridge the disconnection and create new meaning and experience in living locally.
