Join the Army Building a Planetary Salvation Movement

Dump Global, Go Local© - a Realistic Timeline of a GRADUAL transformation, not economic shock therapy.

Years 1-3: Early Adopters (1-2% shift)

• First, communities start choosing local suppliers
• Local businesses begin to thrive, word spreads
• Success stories demonstrate it actually works

Years 4-7: Network Effect (5-8% shift)

• More towns see neighbours succeeding, join the movement
• Local production capacity naturally scales up to meet demand
• Global corporations start noticing but don't panic yet

Years 8-12: Tipping Point (10%+ shift)

• Movement becomes mainstream, not fringe
• Local alternatives mature and become competitive
• Global logistics naturally downsizes rather than crashes

Why Gradual is Actually MORE Powerful:

✅ Local alternatives have time to develop - communities don't face shortages

✅ Workers can retrain - people in global logistics aren't suddenly unemployed
✅ Technology evolves - local production becomes more efficient over time

✅ Learning happens - communities figure out what works, what doesn't

✅ Resistance decreases - gradual change feels less threatening

✅ Proof accumulates - hard to argue against demonstrated success

The Organic Process:

It starts with one conversation with one local business owner about why they stock products from thousands of miles away. Then spreads naturally as:

• Neighbours see their local economy improving
• Local businesses become more profitable and competitive
• Communities become more resilient and self-sufficient

The key insight: Making a start IS the strategy. Each community that begins choosing local creates proof that others can follow.
