Our Mission Statement:

Seattle Peak Oil Awareness is a local citizens action network offering information and practical ideas for living in a time of reduced energy availability. Working in small, focused groups we advocate healthy, sustainable living choices for all interested residents in the Puget Sound region.

What we are working on now:

1) Outreach and education: We are presenting information about peak oil and relocalization at various sustainability forums and fairs in the greater Seattle area. Our next event is the Sustainable Ballard festival on October 1. Also, we have drafted a resolution for the City of Seattle to catalyze local government and public planning for peak oil. We intend to present this resolution to the City Council in the near future.

2) We are beginning to grapple with implementing “lifeboat” strategies and finding practical ways to build lifeboats.

We hold monthly meetings at 7 PM on the first Thursday of each month, in Room 6 (upstairs) at the Phinney Neighborhood Center (6532 Phinney Ave N, Seattle). Our next meeting will be on September 7.
