Bicycles, the quiet revolution..

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.
