My biggest question is how do you deal with counterfeiting in a local currency? If you print up the money on a computer printer it can be scanned and reproduced easily. How would anything less than an institution be able to produce counterfeit-p...

You can always water the plants but the amount of sunlight is not an easy thing to control. Consider how much sun the location will get before planting.

Hi Ken, thanks for joining us. Feel free to customize your page, post questions, thoughts, articles, photos, videos, add cool apps, make friends, message privately, join or create groups.

We look forward to your participation in anchoring our vision with your energy and skills as we seek to live more sustainably and equitably. We plan a wide range of programs and your input will be welcome.

Change has come to DC but whatever Obama accomplishes will be too little too late, (no fault of his, his hands are tied). It is anchored in the old paradigm and as Einstein observed, problems cannot be solved at the same level at which they were created. Most folks may just be getting the economic collapse because it affects them in their pocket but they have not yet got peak oil. We need all hands on deck to alert them.

We meet WEEKLY due to the enormity of the challenges and the urgency needed to address the issues that face us - Tuesdays 7 pm at Emergence Community Arts Collective, 733 Euclid Street NW, WDC 20001. We've been following a schedule something like this:
1st week - Food & Farming
2nd week - Transition
3rd week - Film
4th week - Planning & Networking
5th week when there's one - Special guest
but any can be trumped by urgent matters arising. For example, we devoted the first meeting in 2009 to building the infrastructure for an alternative local economy based on time banks and/or local currency, such as Anacostia Hours in circulation in Mount Rainier.

Talk about great re-skilling information.

A Peak Oil `Who's Who'

I couldn't find a decent list of names associated with Peak Oil so I started this one.

To qualify for this list there must be some form of media (text, video, etc.) in which the person's name is associated with Peak Oil.

Feel free to contribute names and links.
