DEEP LOCAL was the Green Sun’s second micro-symposium of Philadelphia-based practitioners working to change the state and perception of energy and its systems. Participants were led through a series of cooperative workshops and active discussions exploring the imaginative possibility of energy in Philadelphia and beyond. Contributors included Holobiont Lab, Nora Elmazouky (In-Site Collective), Bill Cozzen (Leader, POWER Climate Justice and Jobs) and Nancy Wygant (Co-Chair, POWER Climate Justice and Jobs) and representatives of Cesar Andreú Iglesias Community Garden.

“Deep local” is a term coined by permaculturist and self-proclaimed troublemaker Tom Ward that emphasizes engaging with a sense of place and the slow development of culture towards ecological revolution.

Lunch was provided by Golden Dragon of West Philadelphia. All participants received a complimentary Green Sun t-shirt.
