Let's Live Local - A Post Carbon Outpost in Pine Mountain, California

Group manager: Sarah Edwards

We live in a small, remote mountain village in the Los Padres National Forest. We've been holding End of Suburbia showings over the past six month. Our stated goals are to:

1 - Reduce our dependence on fossil fuel required to fuel our homes by identfying exploring and adopting alternative energy both for our individual homes and our community.

2 - Reduce our dependence on fossil fuel required for transportation by developing a ride-sharing plan, supporting the local bus service, shopping locally whenever possible, surveying local gardens and fruit trees to explore possible community harvesting, developing a community garden, investigating working wiht nearby growers, ranchers, etc. as possible sources of produce, eggs,and meat

3 - Create more sustainable ways of living here by creating a community Gift or Exchange Board, safely composting, building personal greenhouses,touring local homes that are already doing innovative things, having an Earth Day Celebration in 2006 in conjunction with the Sierra Club featuring workshops on turing such topics as: Permaculture, Canning, Alternative energy i.e solar, wind, biodiesel etc.,Tours of local homes, Native plants for landscaping, Honda demo of hybrids, Social marketing programs
