We're proud of the fact that we're working systemically in our community (as a model for replicating our methods in other communities), recognizing that complex systems are changed through relationships. That means that carbon sequestration/reduction on any meaningful scale is a by-product of building community relationships, whether at the local or global scale, and can't be successful or enduring without that. The rapid and continuing increase in global emissions bears out the futility of anything other than a systemic approach.
