My Thought for the Day: Perhaps 1317 East Carson Street is the Urban Oasis for Healthful Living (our current market tag line) and Schwartz Living Market is the 'Regenerative Engine That Could', the 'Engine for Green Growth for the project and processing at large'. Watch this amazing talk for an hour and forty five minutes with Polly Higgins and Charles Eisenstein, and you will understand more about the process and the goals of this Transition Town, Natural Step, Social & Earth Equity, Living Building Challenge process at 1317 East Carson Street. You'll hear the words and hear examples of Permaculture and Transition Town in action. After all, the Earth is calling us! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTyY2VSq7R4&feature=youtu.be! Thoughts anyone?! 

The market process is the foundation for all that is yet to develop. Be part of the process Thursday afternoons at the market with yours truly in the Visioning/vision Gym! Dress to move!
