All forms of activism are important,
whether residents belong to formal community based organizations, or act informally, for example, by planting gardens around their homes. Through existing forms of activism, we see a genuine interest in regional sustainability. On the other hand, lack of formal participation does not indicate a lack of interest or involvement.
