In the beginning of time, humans only had their immediate communities to lean on for support, guidance, substance and survival. Over time, and through the advancements of globalization, people have grown more and more reliant on individuals located at the opposite end of the planet. This dependence on foreign nations for substance and survival creates a devastating disconnect between themselves and their immediate communities. Amazing things can happen to an area when people begin to focus on supporting local businesses and working together cooperatively. Local businesses begin to grow by selling more goods or services. They hire more people to handle the increasing work load. More people now have jobs that allow them to buy and build homes which, at the same time, allow more tax dollars to filter back into the town. The tax dollars fund everything from better roads to better schools. These schools then create better students, which grow to become better citizens of this community. Citizens will stay in this community because of the incredibly strong infrastructure in place that gives security and stability to everyone who is lucky enough to call it home.

Another key element to living locally in the eyes of GenGreen is the importance of minimizing the distance products need to travel to arrive at their final destination. In a world where oil prices are through the roof, and we have yet to perfect a distribution method that eliminates CO2 emissions, we need to look for products located closer to us to keep this travel to a minimum.
