Hey Rob,
Excellent revolutions… In reference to your first point, I bet you already know about it, but there is a Permaculture Credit Union (www.pcuonline.com). They are based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, so investing with them would be a far cry from investing locally, but PCU is a great alternative to most other banks. They invest only in projecst that promote the three ethics of permaculture. I just wanted to let you know in case you didn’t already.
Happy New Year’s!
