Peak Moment Travels, fall 2006

Late in September, we videotaped several Peak Moment conversations in San Francisco after the meeting of the regional Post Carbon groups--with
*Post Carbon folks Dennis Brumm, Richard Katz and Alyse Heartwell
*SF City environmental program folks Melissa Capria and Cal Broomhead
*Jan Lundberg, just coming off a cold
*Michael Shuman, author of The Small-Mart Revolution
*Don Shaffer, Executive Director of BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies)
And more. So this is a placeholder for more news about that journey.

And then in November we journeyed to Pine Mountain Lake (north of LA, east of Santa Barbara), invited by relocalization organizers Sarah and Paul Edwards, to make a presentation about localization based on our Peak Moment conversations.

We headed west to Santa Barbara where we videotaped
*Tam Hunt, with Community Environmental Council on their "Fossil Free by '33" plan
*permaculturist Larry Santoyo
*landscape architect Owen Dell with his visionary "neighborhood foodshed" project
*Larry Saltzman, permaculturist with a food forest in his backyard
*Russ Teall, owner of Biodiesel Industries
*Karen Flagg and Don Hartley with Growing Solutions, who are restoring a landfill
*students in the sustainability club at Santa Barbara Community College
*and several more folks

And then in San Luis Obispo, we videotaped
*SLO Smart Energy Summit
*Bob Banner of Hopedance
*Tylor Middlestadt a Cal Poly student environmental leader

And finally in the Monterey Bay Area
*Deb Lindsay, Peak Oil activist in Pacific Grove
*David Blume on ethanol

There are stories abundant around all these people and places. I'm hoping to fill them in...when I have a moment. For now, this is a bookmark in my blog journal of Peak Moment Travels.
