Rick Oltman of Cape Cleare Fishery Receives the Transportation Lab's first award for Connecting the Dots
The Transportation Lab (a Local 20/20 action group) has given its first award to Rick Oltman, owner of Cape Cleare Fishery. In giving the Connecting the Dots award, the T Lab recognizes that Rick not only fishes sustainably, but sees the connection with sustainable transportation, good health, food resiliency, a healthy economy, and the many other aspects of Local 20/20 that make up our diverse action groups. Rick leaves a small footprint by bicycling his fish (the best tasting and best nutrition anywhere) to fine restaurants, stores, and the Farmers Market. The award was given after Rick made a superb salmon lunch for 60 visiting experts during the Smart Growth in Small Towns Tour on February 3rd. The video was shot by Dan Burden, leader of the tour and Director of the Walkable and Livable Communities Institute, based in Port Townsend.

Video Introduction to Local 2020:
What it is and what it does
Local 20/20 brings together individuals and organizations in our community interested in sustainability and who see the remedy for the dangers of globalization and our dependence on cheap oil in the re-localization of our economies. Local 20/20 encourages our community to conserve our local resources (water and land, both wild and cultivated), develop local energy sources, re-orient our activities in response to more limited transportation options, and learn how to produce the things we've grown accustomed to buying from somewhere else here in our own town.
Local 20/20 invites the community to join the conversation about local sustainability and economic re-localization. General meetings are held each month. View our event calendar for meeting times and locations. General meetings and Council meetings are open to all North Olympic Peninsula community members. Also consider participating in the meetings and projects of the Action Groups who meet separately to discuss specific areas of action.
