Proposing Plan C: Report on the Third U.S. Conference on Peak Oil and Community Solutions

Yellow Springs, Ohio – Participants at the Third U.S. Conference on Peak Oil and Community Solutions learned how they must use less energy, save and share resources and grow food in their communities.

More than 300 activists, educators and others from 33 states attended the three-day conference at Antioch College to hear from nationally-known experts on ways to meet food, housing, transportation and other needs in an energy-starved world through lifestyle changes –not promised technologies...
...Simplicity movement leader Robin encouraged participants, in the words of Mahatma Ghandi, "to be the change they wish to see in the world."
