My favorite pieces on public radio are those that take a just a few minutes yet give me something to think about for the whole day - something to discuss with friends and family. This commentary does just that. The piece is well written and presented well. McKibben touches on why people are excited about new things from distant lands, but still long for the familiarity of their own stomping grounds. In a time when keeping things local is becoming difficult and it seems as if the whole world is turning into a "Tower of Babel," this piece tells about local people making a difference in their communities.
