Life After Oil: Designing the Transition

Life After Oil:

Designing the Transition

A series of events
exploring the twin opportunities

of
peak oil and global warming
in Los Angeles

“Peak
oil” is the term for the end of cheap oil. Our contemporary society is
leveraged upon a continuous stream of the stuff. But as prices climb,
things are going to change...

The future with
less oil could be better than the present, but only if we engage in
designing this Transition with creativity and imagination.

--Rob Hopkins, founder of the Transition Towns movement

Join
us as we explore the Transition Towns concept that is catching on like
wildfire in the UK. What Can We Do about peak oil and global warming?
The answers are in our neighborhoods and communities.

Through
the Transition concept, we take a positive, forward-thinking view of
what the future will hold for our area in the time beyond oil.
