Victor's Oils - Can't leave it to the elected

David queries: ".   .   .     There's no chance we could self-organize to use less, and twist the arms of our elected representatives until they help us? Are we so apathetic, so powerless?"

That process has begun in every place where someone is talking with somebody else about simplifying their lives, using local energy sources, buying locally grown food or goods, building bike routes [or taking back the public roads for bikes a la Critical Mass], blocking drilling in ANWR, getting out to walk, creating cohousing, or various other efforts.

One suggestion for further organization: postcarbon.org where they have set up a network to help groups 'relocalize' their communities.  It is an effort to provide resources and gather creative minds in local efforts to break our addiction to cheap energy.  Take a look; form a group; relocalize!On Gaghan's Syriana not at all the feel-good film of the year posted 3 years, 11 months ago 5 Responses
