While reading your description of locavores and power coming in numbers it reminded me of a Ted Talk I watched in my IPRO class. Britta wanted to grow her own food in her tiny apartment at home. So she along with some friends developed a window farm allowing for people to grow and eat their own food. They then reached out to social media to get a communnity of people from all around the world to build their own window garden and experiment to develop the best window farms.
