Sustainable com­munit­ies work­ing togeth­er towards fin­an­cial independence.

In these tough eco­nom­ic times how do ‘com­munity led’ sus­tain­ab­il­ity pro­jects main­tain momentum? What strategies/income gen­er­at­ing options exist or could be developed, and how can com­munit­ies work togeth­er to increase the effect of what they do?
