I’ve wanted to post about this for a long time, but haven’t found the time. Patagonia has published this essay by Bill McKibben on the joy of localism. I am always amazed that localism is not easily constrained within typical Left v Right thinking. Most “conservatives” would dismiss anything Patagonia prints as enivronmental drivel, yet the more traditional conservatives (as manifest in folks like the Pantagruelists and those behind Caelum Et Terra) would find much common ground with McKibben (as I do).
