I chose to shadow Taylor Stuckert and Mark Rembert based on their video seen
here.
They started an organization called Energize Clinton County. EEC's purpose was to transform a rural small town in Ohio into a self-sustaining, vibrant, healthy community through green sustainable practices. By encouraging and stimulating local economy and by bringing green jobs to the town to replace the manufacturing/blue collar ones that just left the community.
There success is encouraging and has potential to be mirrored across other small towns across the country, particularly in Iowa. In Fairfield, IA I am part of a organization, Sustainable City Solutions, that was founded in 2007 with essentially the same goal. Find ways to make Iowa and other communities sustainable & green in the most efficient way possible.
I'm keeping track of the blog setup for EEC and plan to contact Taylor and Mark at a later date.
