Jeremy O’Leary, an organizer with Portland Peak Oil, will talk about the process that led to the creation of the City of Portland’s Peak Oil Taskforce and the ongoing efforts to integrate peak oil mitigation into local government. Basically there are 500 number one priorities to do and the odds are pretty good you are going to be handy with a few of them. The additional good news is that as individuals and small groups, most of the things we need to do to mitigate the effect of global weirding and peak oil will also re-localize the food supply, reduce our energy needs, create urban habitat, and improve both emergency response and our general quality of life.

If you are interested in a Peak Oil 101 Presentation from the Oregon Department of Energy, please attend the workshop at CRHQ from 3 to 5pm earlier on May 27th. Go here for more info - http://www.portlandpeakoil.org/discussion/vbc8_kaufmann
