This is what you need to do in order to be the “Planter of Seeds” in your community.

– Vision matters
- A city can’t rally around a vision if there isn’t one.
– Have fun
- “Going Green” should be fun (even when it’s hard work.) If it’s not, you’re doing something wrong or moving too fast.
– Passion is irreplaceable
- When passion appears in your city, harness it and let it run in the direction of your city’s dreams. Don’t bog it down with bureaucracy.
– Make a difference
- One Person can make a difference in your city. You may be that person.
