The two biggest challenges facing humanity at this moment are Climate Change and Peak Oil. The former is well documented and very visible in the media. Peak Oil, however, remains under the radar for most people. Yet Peak Oil may well challenge the economic and social stability that is essential if we are to mitigate the threats posed by Climate Change.

We're a grassroots group of concerned citizens, with different backgrounds and interests, who've seperately become aware of the looming crisis caused by the peaking of world oil supplies. We've come together to:

• Develop individual and collective strategies to cope with the crisis
  


• Create awareness in the Montreal region about peak oil
  


• Influence policies of local government to help mitigate the crisis
  


• Serve as a community resource as the crisis becomes more severe
  

The PCM citizen's group meets approximately once per month. Meeting times and places can be found at the Events link above, and on our discussion list:
