Hi Michelle,
Three keys for me - making change happen in my local community, making change with others based on our values, and connecting with other communities wanting to make similar change happen. There are numerous stories in the book describing a range of people carrying out change in their communities. Many of those changes have then spread further through networks of enthusiasm and inspiration.  My favourite personal change story is the Gertie community bus story, an idea currently spreading to other communities.

I only say 'Hi' to Mary and Fay here.
I won't do anything to make me win the book, because this Friday I plan to leave for a bicycle-camping-trip of a few weeks. I probably won't be online often. I had some chances before to win books, but never was able to respond within 24 hours

Thanks!
I am really enjoying a chance to poke around through the various forums. This is the first time I have joined a forum and I'm blown away by the discussions and ideas on this site - diving into one on how to up-cycle glass to another on mulching and/or irrigation. Thanks so much for inviting us and welcoming us!
