Decentralization For Sustainability

  • The most sustainable government is small, locally accountable democracy.
  • Local control + local values + local responsibility = freedom.
  • We need to chose between:
    • A. Endless growth, centralization, consolidation.
    • B. Sustainability, decentralization, democratization. 
  • Sustainability requires local solutions based on local needs, not one-size-fits-all approaches from a central government.
