Confronted by climate breakdown, the extinction crisis and rising inequalities, it is easy to feel anxious and hopeless. I feel those things, but in recent months I’ve also been heartened by a surge of grassroots action, of diverse people responding in myriad ways to multiplying crises. To call it an ecosystem of resistance would be overly dramatic, but it is a flowering of good deeds and positive care for local neighbourhoods.

Shop local’ is a retail movement that has gained real traction in recent years, as organisations attempt to encourage consumers to buy produce, clothing and day-today items from local, independent businesses, rather than large retailers. This Handbook is a component of the Committee of the Regions' ' Green Deal Going Local' campaign that aims at supporting the implementation of the Green Deal at the local and regional levels.

As Hopkins says: “I’ve never been anywhere where anybody has said: ‘I was doing all right until I got involved in this Transition stuff,’ or: ‘I was doing all right until I learned to grow my own food.’ We are social creatures living in a time that is trying to stop us from being that.

Take Action: every step counts There are two obvious “yes, buts” about burgeoning localism. One is that if individuals devote all their energies to parochial concerns they won’t bring about national or international political change. If we do good deeds in our market garden or forest school, we’re not demanding systemic change: we’re letting Boris Johnson’s government get away with it. Another fear is that local action simply fulfils David Cameron’s vision of a “big society”, proving governments don’t have to provide essential local services or even a safety net; instead we have the survival of the fittest communities.
