Transition towns
A Transition Initiative is a community working together to look Peak Oil and climate change squarely in the eye and address this BIG question: "for all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we significantly increase resilience (to mitigate the effects of Peak Oil) and drastically reduce carbon emissions (to mitigate the effects of Climate Change)?".
The answer is a transition town that alongside lots of other ideas, uses "local money rather than global money" to help the local economy thrive.
