In an example of a creative form of outreach and education, the San Francisco Peak Oil Preparedness Task Force teamed up with the Presidio School of Management to plan a series of online "town hall meetings" on various aspects of peak oil.

The San Francisco Peak Oil Preparedness Task Force is committed to educating the people of San Francisco about oil depletion and how they can prepare.

We have teamed up with the Presidio School of Management (home of a well-regarded sustainability MBA) to host a series of six town hall meetings this August.
The town hall meetings are open to anyone but have been designed specially for the people of San Francisco.

The meetings will take place entirely online.

You will need a computer connected to the Internet and a telephone that can call a conference call service (long distance will apply but is otherwise free).

Here are the topics:

  • August 4 — What's Happening With Oil?
  • August 6 — Growing Food in an Urban Environment
  • August 11 — Creating Communities and Local Economies
  • August 13 —Transportation in a Post Peak World
  • August 19 — (Please note the date change) Personal Preparation for Peak Oil
  • August 20 — Keeping Healthy in a Post Peak World

There are two presentations each day, which are identical to each other. Choose the one that works best for your schedule:

  • 12 noon until 1pm (Pacific)
  • 7 pm until 8pm (Pacific)

These presentations are designed to help answer the question, "Where do I start to prepare for peak oil?" Each meeting includes about 20 minutes of content followed by 30 minutes of Q&A.
