I think all Vermonters share a respect for others and value diversity.

I think Vermonters value resourcefulness and helpfulness. I think most Vermonters are concerned about the common good, that is, considerate of one's neighbor and looking out for future generations.

The state motto "Freedom & Unity" first comes to mind in a live and let live sort of way. I like how most (still not all by any means) Vermonters - transplants or native born - were the first to establish a civil union law, Vermonters began and still practice good environmental ways, exhibited through Green Up Day.

Good family values, a peaceful and serene place to live and communities of caring individuals

love of nature, self-responsibility, altruism, democracy

A desire to keep Vermont clean and somewhat "bullshit" free; we don't want Billboards, Big box stores, or any more violence/drugs to take over our towns.

1.appreciation&inclusion-which goes BEYOND TOLERANCE! b/c tolerance assumes one's own superiority; 2.independence(individuality&leaving others alone) & interdependence 3.love of learning; 4.VT wit; 5.respect of others&environment; 6.small scale; 7.[social] honesty(lack of corruption)

A concern for the environment. A responsibility to take care of our earth and our communities. And the initiative to help - the concept that one person can make a difference. I think Vermont has one of the highest concentrations of these types of people as there are anywhere in the world.

Native-born or flatlander, all Vermonters are proud of our state's independent ideas and actions and our sense of community and interconnectedness. Most Vermonters welcome new people and ideas from all over the world, but sadly some have embraced hate instead (the “Take Back Vermont” crowd).
