Life After Oil: Designing the Transition
http://www.envirochangemakers.org/TTLA.htm
A series of events exploring the twin opportunities
of peak oil and global warming in Los Angeles
“Peak oil†is the term for the end of cheap oil. Our contemporary society is leveraged upon a continuous stream of the stuff. But as prices climb, things are going to change...
The future with less oil could be better than the present, but only if we engage in designing this Transition with creativity and imagination.
--Rob Hopkins, founder of the Transition Towns movement
Join us as we explore the Transition Towns concept that is catching on like wildfire in the UK. What Can We Do about peak oil and global warming? The answers are in our neighborhoods and communities.
Through the Transition concept, we take a positive, forward-thinking view of what the future will hold for our area in the time beyond oil.
