Celebrate the existing efforts of community organizations and local gov't officials in fostering community well-being and resilience.2. Engage the Framingham community at-large to both participate in existing projects and propose new ones.3. Create awareness and strengthen our community with small community projects such as gardening, bike clinics, improved transportation information, and community outreach during the holidays4. Become involved with local government, businesses, individuals, and other organizations5. Form working groups to make inroads in increasing sustainability and resilience in areas such as recycling, permaculture, renewable energy, and education.With 68,000 people living in Framingham, and perhaps another 20,000 working in town, there ought to be at least one project that is of interest or benefit to almost everyone.
