Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

So now that Extreme Home Makeover in Indy is done.....

Last month we saw incredible collaboration between businesses and volunteers in the city to take a small step towards lifting up a neighborhood in Indy. 1400 trees were planted, wireless for the city, 4000 volunteers, homes were given a much needed facelift, it was a great collaboration.

What would be holding us back to doing this without the cameras around? And please dont go into the "people just want their businesses on tv" sort of thing. I completely realize that, but my question is what would it TAKE to get people and businesses to collaborate on a project like this again? I think it can be done.

And please, this is a positive question, lets not focus on the negatives.

Count me in on planting trees!

I think we could get an across the spectrum coalition and get local politicoes to designate an area that could create a citizen colunteer force to beautify a place that everybody uses, like an arboretum.

Beauty is a good thing.
