Bay Area Relocalize: Preparing for the End of Cheap Oil February 16, 2006

In response to the growing concerns around climate change and the end
of cheap oil, Post Carbon Institute has launched an exciting new
project called Bay Area Relocalize. The project is assessing our
region's use of resources and developing a model for local
communities to bring the production of our food, energy and essential
goods closer to home. We are connecting with neighborhoods,
businesses, and community groups to mobilize around reducing our
consumption of resources from outside the region and replacing them
with local resources. Examples include creating community gardens,
installing solar panels on homes and businesses, capturing rainwater,
improving public transit, and building affordable homes nearer to
where we work. This 2-hour, public event will feature a panel of
presenters from the project and Q&A. This is a benefit for Bay Area
Relocalize and The Ecology Center. Requested donation of $5-20
(sliding scale). No one turned away for lack of funds.
