Could you elaborate upon what you mean by middle layer politics and intermediate organization problem?

  I lack proper terminology. I mean: - individual initiative is not enough - nation wide (or larger) is not happening (there are big efforts but there are also contradicting accounts of actual progress and even opposing forces like countries investing in coal even more) the usual levers (parties) are not effective, how to combine individual efforts into groups (the middle layer) so that people can 1) have access to useful information 2) find solutions to problems (buying local food, consuming less, producing some stuff locally if it makes sense). I have this view where small groups spread in enough numbers would divert all the yet passive people into followers so that quickly economics will be redirected into a sustainable low pollution model.

    Run for local government, enact low carbon policies (electric buses, prohibition of new natural gas service and petrol fueling stations, establish municipal electric service that buys 100% renewables in bulk for citizens, etc). If you need funding, go to the muni bond market and skip the federal gov green bank if they can’t get their act together.
