 The article of "Global to Local" talks about different ways to contribute to your communities. A few ways to contribute is do optional tasks as a local citizen, a national citizen, and a global citizen. As a local citizen, you can take control of global policies, alternatives for your community, attend meetings of your city council, organize cleanups for your neighborhood. As a national citizen, you can an online petition, mobilize voters, have your office to vote, have participation in a phone bank, write letters to Congress, respond to national issues, and be a host of a political salon. Finally as a global citizen, you could learn about the functions of global institutions like the World Bank, IMF, and WTO. Join a movement with people that protests about how companies have been operating, and join that work for social justice. Conserving Communities by Wendell Berry talks about ways on how members: ask about proposed changes or innovations, have local nature always be included, ask locals about supplies, supply local needs first, understand labor saving, develop small scale businesses and industries, have money be paid to the local economy, have the community make investments to itself, and be aware about economic value in neighborly acts.
