Localism | Optimism | Curiosity Founder of @joinxplore Living our mission to create a more local world.

Bath, England
Loneliness is a pervasive problem in our modern society, especially in the age of digital comms & the breakdown of face-to-face interactions. However, there is hope, local businesses & communities can & should play a vital role in combating loneliness & fostering real connections
This is terribly sad "At any moment, about one out of every two Americans is experiencing measurable levels of loneliness." nytimes.com/2023/04/30/opini…

A vision on the future of our communities I’m behind 100% @simonjenkins04 The city of the future is “young, gritty and fearless”, fostering “the human contact that enables our species to survive”. And it helps the planet into the bargain. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
