PETROCOLLAPSE
Los
Angeles
Fossil Fuel Decline and
the Possibility for Culture Change
January 28th – 29th
Jan Lundberg,
Oil industry analyst, founder
of Auto-Free Times and www.culturechange.org will be coming
to Los Angeles for a series of events on Saturday January
28th and Sunday January 29th. More events and/or speakers
may be added later. Check www.lapostcarbon.org for updated information.
Listen to Jan
Lundberg interviewed by Sonali Kolhatkar (18 minutes)
(mp3)
on KPFK's Uprising Radio on January 26th, 2006. It includes
a clip from the new documentary, "The Power of Community;
How Cuba Survived Peak Oil".
The determination to explore and act on the impacts of
peak oil and climate change is a big start toward lessening
damage to countless lives and our fragile ecosystem. There
are some key areas to concentrate on, notably food supply
and transport. But one mustn't think this is all up to government
officials. Individuals and households, and then neighborhood
communities, need to take matters into their hands now to
prepare for major upheaval ahead and to build a sustainable
society. - Jan Lundberg

The 350 families that tend this 14-acre farm are under threat
of eviction as the farm has been sold by the city to a warehouse
developer. The developer has not taken control of the property
yet only because of community support, and the determination
of local activists, but the future of this farm is uncertain.
The discussion will address issues of food security as fossil
fuels decline, and will provide information on how we can
help save the farm.
