"There is this network connection that we crave, and it's going to make it through the collapse because it is part of our DNA" In Ghana, people were disconnecting solar power from their water pumps in order to charge their cell phones for no other reason than they couldn't get a phone signal.
On this episode, Nate is joined by Marty Kearns, a civic organizer and networking specialist. He and Marty discuss why both networks and communities will be critical to the coming challenges we face.
