Don’t get me wrong, I love the one stop shopping at Wal-mart but it has been devastating to a lot of small towns. The loss of small family farms to large corporation farms has also hurt small rural towns. Closing a town’s single manufacturing plant has also destroyed rural economies. There should be some solutions to all these events. Do some brainstorming and come up with ideas to boost rural economies.<br /><br />Please enter only one new idea per day. Try to present it in the shortest way possible, one or two sentences. Go to lvthinktank.com for a complete list of more than 40 blogs addressing social issues.
