Great thread!!! Thanks MsDemeanor!!
I am huge fan of localizing money!! This is a great way to do it!!
I am also researching nurture capitalism, natural capitalism, and Slow Money Principles.
I don't think this is derailing because these things go hand and hand with the concept you posted. Here are some links to be interested in.
