It’s easy to talk about ‘a new way of doing things’, a ‘new normal’, but unless we actually make it happen, it’s all too easy to drift back into the old, familiar ways.
So, here are a few of the people I know of, some of whom I know, who are actually doing a new normal. Showing us that not only is there another way, but that new ways work, often better than the old way:
- New Dawn Traders
- Open Food Network
- Locavore
- Community Clothing
- MattBlack Systems
- Mondragon
- Morning Star
- Patagonia
- Buurtzog
- Akimbo
Some of these people have been doing things their new way for years.
Maybe ‘new’ isn’t so new after all? Not untried, not unsuccessful, just unfamiliar.
New paths are made by walking.
