We
all know the world is changing but what do we
need to do to survive the changes?
Firstly
we need to personally accept that peak oil has
been and gone. Although we were not aware of
it but it is thought in some circles that we
hit peak oil in 1995. Peak oil is the point
in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum
extraction is reached. After this point in time
the rate of production enters terminal decline
and as such the oil is starting to run out.
What
can we do about peak oil? in an international
way we can do nothing at all because we cannot
find new oil deposits ourselves but where we
can and indeed must do something about peak
oil in a local, personal and selfish way is
to reduce our own dependence on oil and oil
products.
We
need to change our ways now before it is too
late but then is it not already TOO
LATE? We see the cost of petrol
and diesel going up so that has an impact on
our lives, food has to be sourced, produced,
transported and cooked with fossil fuels ( in
general).
More
to follow.
