Kelly sees herself as a social trimtab who gets involved in local sustainability initiatives that push boundaries and test new efficient ideas at home. She takes effective ideas and works with communities to execute them in areas like agriculture, housing, and development. By educating herself on systems monitoring, assessment, and prediction, she can join likeminded groups to effect changes on a community scale not possible alone. These community groups then partner with larger national or global initiatives. Kelly acts when she sees a deviation between what she's learning is good and what society is collectively doing. By sticking her foot in the waters of culture and economy, she helps turn America toward a healthier true north.
