PoC is essential simply because it is positive. Most PO stuff is pretty dire and I thought it would be important to show people that this doesn't have to be an apocalypse.<BR/><BR/>J.C. I used to live in MI. Various cities but spent the most time in Lansing/E. Lansing. MI is underappreciated! Especially as CA can't provide water for crops this year and is losing billions in crop yields as a result. Also, I am addicted to Cherry Republic jam. Yum.<BR/><BR/>Coldstream: I think people know, on a gut level, that something is wrong. They need help putting the pieces together though. I need to push myself on the viral marketing stuff I put together for TT Parma and do a bigger mailing and more flyers and see if the papers will do a feature or something!<BR/><BR/>MMotherhood for the Weakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813197295291518166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415127932802161885.post-47445251711791897402009-03-08T08:30:00.000-07:002009-03-08T08:30:00.000-07:00Get the movie about how Cuba survived peak oil - t...Get the movie about how Cuba survived peak oil - there's a lot more about the positive side of community building out of an energy descent.<BR/><BR/>http://www.powerofcommunity.org/cm/index.phpUrbanWorkbenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02033015847035876990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415127932802161885.post-46558066628957236562009-03-08T06:58:00.000-07:002009-03-08T06:58:00.000-07:00Don't fret about the low turnout.

One already knew about Peak Oil and the other did not. It will come - we all just need to be patient.<BR/><BR/>My gut tells me that once the economy starts to recover, it will be choked back, like a dog on a chain, by oil supply issues, and this time the smoking gun of Peak Oil will be easy to see. That is when you'll start to see people perk up and pay attention.coldstream63https://www.blogger.com/profile/02905263398330393807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415127932802161885.post-81480942970035461332009-03-08T06:16:00.000-07:002009-03-08T06:16:00.000-07:00Hi, I stumbled across your blog after reading your...Hi, I stumbled across your blog after reading your comments on the Crunchy Chicken, and am enjoying it. I particularly like your positivity about the Upper Midwest and the Great Lakes basin. It's good to hear that someone agrees with me that this region will be valuable post-peak, and when climate change hits. I am in southwestern Michigan, and while the rest of US has written our state off, I look around me and see so many plusses about this area. We have abundant water and the greatest agricultural diversity second only to California. We grow wonderful fruit and other crops in my little corner of the state. I don't know if most people will be smart enough to realize the valuable assets we have in our region. When people think of Michigan, for example, they think only of Detroit and the industrial wasteland that it is. There are seriously people that think the whole state is like Detroit. But maybe that's OK - we won't have to worry about overpopulation! Good luck with your endeavor in Parma. I'll be reading along.j.c.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00450863585011794813noreply@blogger.com
