BALLE

I'm in Denver for the 7th Annual BALLE conference. BALLE stands for Business Alliance for Local Living Economies.
This is the meeting of representatives from BALLE networks from around North America. And, there were some people here from France this year. There was a question of BALLE going global. For now, they say, they are focused on this side of the pond. I got the impression, however, that the impetus behind the local movement will not be contained.
During this year's conference there was lots of talk of the green economy. There was a great talk about wind energy from the founder of Windustry.
More to come after sleep.....
