Change Harvesting Makes Local Changes | #91

We change-harvesters say human, local, oriented, taken, and iterative. We talked about human a couple of day ago, let's take on local. A quick sketch of the idea, and a couple of cases will do, yeah? When we say that we want our changes to be "local", what do we mean? I think in terms of two nearby metaphors, "neighborhood" and "reach". We want our changes to be in the neighborhood, and we want them to be in easy reach. Of course, "small" comes to mind right away, but it has its problems, most notably that it almost immediately prompts one to think of numbers, which tends to fire us off into a numbers game that distracts from the fluidity and flex of the idea. The contrasting approach to local is global. Remember the early eco slogan, "think globally, act locally"? That notion of locality is what we're aiming at. (When we get to oriented change, we'll see the other half in action, too.)
