Confronting Peak Oil: Building a Sustainable Future
Confronting Peak Oil: Building a Sustainable Future
As we approach the end of the age of oil, and the reality of the climate crisis sinks in, more and more people are beginning to wake up to the fact that we need to change our ways, and begin building sustainable energy alternatives. We'll spend the day exploring those alternatives - people and projects who are working for change, places that have reduced their carbon footprint, a national agenda for addressing the crisis, and local initiatives in the Portland area.
