Quotes in this thread: "The need for diversity extends down to every blade of grass […] Erasing diversity is incompatible with life. For that reason, globalization — which systematically replaces diversity with monoculture — is also incompatible with life".

"Localization isn& #39;t about returning to the past. Instead it asks us to recognize what older cultures did well: They relied on local resources & knowledge to meet people& #39;s material needs […] they put high value on community ties, which enabled them to meet psychological need[s]."
