BOULDER COUNTY GOING LOCAL! Announced May 30, 2008 that very smart Cities of Boulder and Longmont are the first on the North American Continent to be designated Transition Towns focusing on re-localization of the Bouldermont economy.

Boulder County Going Local! is the super empowered group in the County to re-educate people and businesses and steer them through the elite societal transformation. To accomplish these ends foco strategy and tactics are necessary. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foco) The local foco will organize collective dismantlement of Boulder County's obsolete society now focused on maximum wealth creation, to a basic survival economy. This compulsory change is considered by Boulder County to be necessary to mitigate the impact of the Peak Oil and Global Warming; known as the two black swans scenario. The experts say their approach best adds resilience to the very fabric of the community's existence to resist the effects of the arrival of the black swans on the local economy and life style.

This societal transformation means a reduction in County oil consumption by eliminating the people's dependence on long-distance transportation of consumer products, good & services. A benefit to government accrues with the elimination of local dependence on oil and gas products as well as on consumer products, goods and services because environmentalists will be very happy with elimination of the need for big box stores and retail complexes. Through trial and error, all aspects of life and economic needs in Boulder County will be changed to achieve thriving economic sustainability. Happy days are here again means Boulder County's carbon emissions reduction will be zero and maintained by zero tolerance with government enforcement to mitigating the effects of Peak Oil & Climate Change.

Individuals may purchase carbon credits if they wish carbon foot prints above the zero tolerance in order to indulge in the use of electrical appliances and drive private vehicles.
