Our group hasn't been keeping this site updated since we use the oilawareness.meetup.com/216 site and our primary form of communication, but we do have 170 members and have been very active of late working with the cities of Chapel Hill and Carrboro on Peak Oil resolutions. No matter where you are in the process - skeptic, paralyzing trough of reality, early stages of powering down, or an experienced activist/low net-carbon emitter we are here to help and invite you to contact us or come to one of our events. You can join the group at the meetup.com site to receive notification of events.

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.
