I have a new hero. Right up there with Richard (swoon) Heinberg and Rob (swoon) Hopkins, now comes Paul (swoon) Glover,
What a great article proposing a great, green future for Philadelphia! From "Yes We Can" to "Now We Do." A look at the challenges, next steps, local heroes already at work, world champions modeling great projects, and a big picture view in food, fuel, housing, health care, money, water, transport, jobs, business & industry, government, public safety, education, and culture. Maybe we should all move to Phily!
