live local

In 2008, Piers Dawson-Damer joined forces with Digital Eskimo, a Sydney-based design agency with a passion for sustainability. Digital Eskimo founder Dave Gravina shared Piers' concerns about Peak Oil. His agency designed the concept of a live local website that was an accessible, practical, fun and engaging way to re-localise and reconnect communities for the benefit of people and the environment.

live local is a website where people of all walks of life can post their stories, using words, pictures, and videos of how they improve and enjoy their communities. The "experiments", as they're called on the site, are as simple as riding your bike to work or mapping the location of publicly accessible fruit trees in a region – and as complex as creating a lush backyard garden or developing a bartering system.
