Your community doesn't need wind; it needs a spark, to get people to think and work together., "The message is clear: An initially unconcerned community banded together and took steps that led to their current fame as a model of environmental action; we other residents of the island that is planet Earth can do that, too." - Kirkus Reviews, "The thrilling idea, the book concludes, is that Samso is 'not very different from where you live.'
