Plans for Madison Peak Oil Group

eblume — Fri, 05 May 2006 08:28:51 -0700

At the meeting of the Madison Peak Oil Group on May 4, we decided to look into opportunities to discuss peak oil in three areas: transportation planning both state and local; Pro Walk/Pro Bike conference at the Monona Terrace; and presentations to annual conventions of local government professional and trade associations.

The limit on the opportunities to inform the general public and decision-makers depends entirely on the number of people active in the group, so mark your calendars for the next meeting from noon to 1:00 p.m. on June 1 in the RENEW Wisconsin office at 222 S. Hamilton Stree

ARGENTINA: Urban Gardens Provide More than Just Food

BUENOS AIRES, Feb 9 (IPS) - The community gardens initially created to help confront the effects of the late 2001 economic collapse in Argentina have now "grown" into a government-run urban agriculture programme, which provides unemployed workers with much more than just food for their families' tables.

Some 7,000 people who were out of work before entering the programme have joined forces to clear the land, plant and harvest vegetables, and sell their produce in street market stalls.
