Locavores, devour Puget Sound Community Change

I work for a small nonprofit here in Seattle called the Interra Project. Interra is a grassroots economics organization working on radically practical tools and solutions to big problems. We’re launching “community loyalty programs” in several cities around the country to support “locally-focused and sustainable” businesses, nonprofits and schools. We launched our first program last November in Boston. Now we’re in the Puget Sound.

Thanks to Brad, as well as the wonderful, worker-owned Web Collective, Puget Sound Community Change is live. I’m told it was with blessings and song that the site was born into the world late Sunday night.

If you’re in the area, explore the directory, get a community card, “shop locally and share locally.” Brittany and I will be celebrating this Friday at M.I.A. (It’s in honor of all of this, and because it references the Pixies, that I’m including M.I.A.’s “$20″ in this post)

And for what it’s worth, “Locavore” is now in the Oxford American Dictionary.
