This is just a friendly reminder that the first Carnival of the Localists issue will publish here on Monday, April 21. That means submissions are due by tomorrow, so if you’ve got anything you’d like to add, send it on in!

Local foods, locally-made goods, local banking and investing — even local energy production — are quickly becoming their preferred alternative to a globalized economy.
