Official Seattle Evolver December Spore "Take Back the Power!"

Will the end of the oil age mark the end of civilization as we know it? Will we descend into Mad Max mayhem as pumps run dry? Or can the threat of a post-Peak Oil dystopia inspire communities to institute new sustainable models of energy production, conservation, and sharing?

Note:

Each Seattle Evolver meeting will include community building, interaction and a "What to do next?" section so that no matter what the monthly topic is there will be clear next steps to act upon between meetings. Meetings will go beyond the typical lecture/classroom format and into envisioning and physically creating a new future as a group.
