Drawing from his books Going Local and The Small-Mart Revolution, author Michael Shuman* will lay out an inspiring agenda for a Local Living Economy in Fort Collins and the surrounding region. There is an alternative —a sustainable, equitable, place-based economy that serves us all. We can nurture our own uniquely-local businesses and farms through low-cost, common-sense programs, including local purchasing, local investment, and local business alliances.  He brings good news from communities around the country who are succeeding in this new direction.      Michael’s current positions include: Director of Research and Economic Development, Business Alliance for Local Living Economies – BALLE, Director of Research and Marketing, Cutting Edge Capital, Fellow, Post-Carbon Institute   FEBRUARY FOOTAGE COMING SOON 2007 video below
