The maxim, “think globally, act locally” is exemplified by Councillor King's actions. [http://www.sierraclub.ca/bc/media/item.shtml?x=17] Climate change must be addressed at the local level and not only through international conventions. This demonstrates the relevance of local leadership to the global community. Municipal solutions are “big time” solutions for international problems.
