Peak Oil Townhall Meetings
Written by Andre Angelatoni
The San Francisco Peak Oil Preparedness Task Force is committed to educating the people of San Francisco about oil depletion and how they can prepare.
We have teamed up with the Presidio School of Management (home of a well-regarded sustainability MBA) to host a series of six town hall meetings this August.
The town hall meetings are open to anyone but have been designed specially for the people of San Francisco.
The meetings will take place entirely online.
You will need a computer connected to the Internet and a telephone that can call a conference call service (long distance will apply but is otherwise free). For inexpensive long distance calls, consider www.skype.com, www.jajah.com or www.gizmo.com.
Here are the topics:
- August 4 — What’s Happening With Oil?
- August 6 — Growing Food in an Urban Environment
- August 11 — Creating Communities and Local Economies
- August 13 —Transportation in a Post Peak World
- August 18 — Personal Preparation for Peak Oil
- August 20 — Keeping Healthy in a Post Peak World
There are two presentations each day, which are identical to each other. Choose the one that works best for your schedule:
- 12 noon until 1pm (Pacific)
- 7 pm until 8pm (Pacific)
The series is designed to help answer the question, “Where do I start?” Each meeting incudes about 20 minutes of content followed by 30 minutes of Q&A. You can register here:
