Neighbors of a four-block inner city park in Baltimore, MD, are revitalizing this previously vibrant
area by founding Friends of Mount Vernon Place. Citizens organized clean-up days, a flower
market and a book festival. Through their efforts, the place is now referred to as the “heart of Baltimore.” They have redirected green efforts of global awareness and pointed it back into the
local community.
The efforts are found throughout the country, from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. These changes are also taking effect throughout the world. So the mantra of the environmental movement, “think globally, act locally” is finding a new twist as communities are now thinking, as well as acting,
locally. Pride is instilled back into neighborhoods that were once dangerous and defunct through
small changes such as what the residents of the Baltimore area have made. Revitalization is at
hand, and that is a good thing.
