We had always heard of Agenda 21 and knew the general tenets, but we really had not investigated it specific local cities. While doing some research on another article last night, we stumbled across a considerable amount on infomation that indicates that many cities have been implementing “Agenda 21” for a long time and are darned far along in the process. Disturbing, to say the least!
We are trying to parse this new information, and were hoping some people here (who are more familiar with this topic than we are) would be willing to engage in a discussion and information sharing thread on the forum.
It’s all really mind boggling – like peeling back the layers of an onion.
Check here to see if your city is a part of the Agenda 21 plan:

More search terms – look for: Sustainable Community Strategy/Plan, Blueprint Process, Smart Growth, Walkable Community.
In California a lot of the Agenda 21 goals are tied into legislation on Green House Gases… look into Assembly Bill 32 and senate Bill 375.
Agenda 21 is a 40 chapter document written by for the UN in 1992.
