About
LOCAL is a streaming video and social media channel and crowdsourced social app that embraces the power of thinking -- and acting -- locally. LOCAL's mission is to produce stories of locally based alternatives to the global consumer culture, turning such stories into tools that can help shape neighborhoods and cities around the world. It’s a media site to connect those who yearn to partake in creating livable communities with those who are making them happen – stories on the cusp of a creative, sustainable renaissance fueled by smart technology, regenerative design, urban food systems, energy renewal at the neighborhood scale, and community collaboration -- all driven by citizen action, the media, and grassroots entrepreneurship. We are here to tell the stories that will inspire ever more of us to unite, create, and participate.
