Strong Communites are the Seedbed for Successful Sustainable Initiatives!

In preparation for giving a short talk tonight, this concept came through...

If Green Champions are important for spearheading new green initiatives, then strong communities are the seedbed for which these initiatives can grow and flourish.  

In other words, when a green inspiration strikes someone it can be fleeting and be gone in the next moment.  But, put that inspiration next to someone else who was thinking the same thing, then that shared awareness becomes the beginning of what could become a grassroots effort.  For it to move onto the next stage is where the strong community comes in to the equation.  

The two go hand in hand - Strong Communities & Sustainable Actions

In return, these Sustainable Actions give a more holistic feel to the community.
