Building a slow community

The successful halting to date of drilling and fracking in the region is emblematic of the foundational beliefs of the Slow Living movement. Instead of ceding our community to industrial activity—or box stores, parking lots and chain hotels—many of our neighbors are conceiving of and bringing to fruition projects that help create a sustainable, thriving community for the benefit of all who live here, and for future generations.

I thank them for their efforts.
