Listing some communities in action

Trishsgate · 10-09-2008, 05:08 AM

Can we list a few places globally that are trying to jumpstart or create new communities. Something positive to focus on through these seemingly bumpy times. That we may take a few ideas or inspiration from some who are doing something positive within their community to make a difference.

As you read these, is there something that you may incorporate into your own plan or for a timeout.

I am placing this here for the newbies as well as all to enjoy so they may see some action in progress. It will most likely be moved but for the time being here it is.
