LAST Action Meeting, etc.

Submitted Wed, 2008-04-02 09:24 — Sidroney

We will discuss our weekly face-to-face meetings and decide whether to continue these on a weekly basis or to cut back to 1-2 times per month with possibly weekly web meetings using email or blogs in order to get more LAST members involved.

We will continue focus will be on the LAST Action Planner. The Planner is an attachment at http://relocalize.net/last_action_planner .

Everyone is asked to select 1, 2, or 3 Focus Areas and come to the meeting with information or ideas about that/those area(s). Wi-Fi is available in our meeting room, so bring your laptops if you have Wi-Fi connections capability. As a minimum, Sid & Laura will bring their laptop for us to use in this information gathering process.

We will meet briefly, 5-10 minutes, to discuss general sustainability happenings of the week and then break into specific Focus Area small groups to work on the LAST Action Planner.

If we have new people to the group that night, Sid will meet with them separately to orient them to our LAST group and its mission/objectives. This way the group can focus on the tasks at hand while new people get information about our group and its direction.

Viewing of How Cuba Survived Peak Oil tomorrow!

Submitted Wed, 2008-04-02 10:14 — Barry

Sierra Club's Southeast MI group presents:
"The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil"
with WRIF Radio Host Peter Werbe

Thursday, April 3, 2008
6:30pm Potluck
7:30pm Program

Northwest Unitarian-Universalist Church
23925 Northwestern Hwy, Southfield, MI
(located along the south-bound Hohn Lodge Fwy service
drive between 9 & 10 Mile)

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba's
economy went into a tailspin. With imports of oil cut
by more than half--and food by 80%--people were
desperate. This film tells of the hardships and
struggles as well the community and creativity of the
Cuban people during this difficult time. Cubans share
how they transformed from a highly mechanized,
industrial agricultural system to one using organic
methods of farming and local, urban gardens. This film
opens with a brief history of Peak Oil, a term for the
time in our history when world oil production reaches
its all-time peak and begins to decline forever. While
there remains some debate as to when we will reach
peak oil, most experts agree the time is now. Cuba,
the only country that has faced such a crisis, is an
example of options and hope.

Join us after the film for a discussion with WRIF
radio personality Peter Werbe, host of the popular
"Night Call" show, who has recently returned from
Cuba. He will share his observations about the island with
us as we continue to explore local sustainability
strategies for metro Detroit.

Weekend Permaculture Design Course in Columbus, Ohio

“Help green the city and prepare for climate change. Build networks of support and empower yourself with the skills of ecological design as we search for the roots of permanent culture”

Description: Over five weekends (Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays), we will present the permaculture design curriculum with special emphasis on urban applications, strategies for changing climate and building local networks of support.

The class will implement at least one of the design projects by rehabilitating an old orchard as a forest garden on the 40-acre campus of the United Methodist Children’s Home in Worthington; helping to move this historic institution back to its agricultural roots and forward to a second century of sustainability.

The course is co-sponsored by Simply Living Columbus, and the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association, and UMCH. Some work-trade scholarships will be available.

Instructors: Peter Bane, Rhonda Baird and guests.
Cost: $895 including weekend lunches and course materials, $150 deposit required.
