missoulagov<BR> *Subject:* Re: [MissoulaGov] Goals for
Council - local ag; and a<BR> low energy
future<BR><BR> Sorry I'm a little late with this.<BR>
I want to put out my support for the
city council doing what it can to preserve local ag-lands
and<BR> encourage local / regional farming and
food distribution.<BR><BR> Also I hope the council will
continue aggressively planning for a<BR> more
walkable/<BR> bike-able, transit friendly community.
We are headed for fossil fuel<BR> austerity whether we
like it or not. Communities who prepare for<BR> a
sustainable future in that context will be best positioned<BR>
for economic stability.<BR> The
city should foster economic stability (not growth).<BR>
Meaning, we should foster local-regional vitality, not by
inviting<BR> multi-national corporations to
town; but by nurturing local investment, local<BR> food
production and value added production of things that we
need locally. We should<BR> encourage modest systems which
keep money circulating locally as much as
possible.<BR><BR> Thanks to City Council for all your good
work.<BR><BR> John Wolverton <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
