They've turned their initial response to resource declines from "it's horrible and overwhelming" into "we can create new ways of doing." Dana is bringing "Dragon Dreaming" to her community. This organizing model starts by having a group totally buy into a specific dream, like being locally food self-sufficient. Then in every cycle of implementation, members Dream, Plan, Do and — just as importantly — Celebrate! Why not have fun while we build community and security?</span></span></p>
