(Formerly: Central Ohio Post Carbon Outpost)

We are a local chapter of the Post Carbon Institute's Relocalization Network. To best understand our goals, click on this link and listen to Post Carbon Institute's founder Julian Darley's speech at the "Local Solutions to the Energy Dilemma" conference in NYC on April 29, 2006.

Note: We are fortunate enough to have as a member someone who is on the Advisory Board of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil - USA.

We meet the second Monday of each month.
7:00 pm (6:30 - orientation for newcomers)
2231 N High St, Rm 100
Columbus, OH

This is a link to the Post Carbon Institute's Resolutions as stated in the Relocalization Manual:

The last resolution:
"WHEREAS, . . . every community needs to have a Post Carbon-like group with expertise, experience, tools, plans and working models for local food, money, energy, water, media, governance, ownership, and culture, and to network with other like-minded groups locally, regionally, and globally thereby creating a parallel public infrastructure that will provide the basis for transitioning from the petro-pollution economy into the Post Carbon World."

Please note - that to become an Outpost Manager, the Post Carbon Institute requires managers to agree with three core principles:

·    Belief in Relocalization
·    Commitment to promote local smaller energy sources vs big energy              - coal and nuclear
·    Dedication to pursing non-violent solutions

This is the Relocalization Manual we are using as a guide:

We will post the agenda for our next meeting on the forum discussion page each month.

Hope to see you at our next meeting.
A Laurin, Mgr.
