Nethercote Markets (@7'05")
5th September
The growth of Nethercote Markets has been invigorating for us all.
It demonstrates the success of the idea and the local community should be proud.
Our social network has revealed a widespread pattern in communities word-wide. People are responding to the desire for better food, clean energy, a resilient economy and a more fulfilling lifestyle.
The good news is that people are getting together, creating solutions, and managing change - spontaneously, uncoordinated and without leadership.
Projects like the Nethercote Markets, next on 5th September, are happening all over the world!
