We are a group of Interior Alaska citizens that are working together to envision and transition into low tech, low energy communities. The common thread that binds us together is our concern that oil production is peaking globally and will have severe repercussions for global food, political, economic, monetary and transportation systems.

We are currently forming as an Outpost of the Post Carbon Institute (www.postcarbon.org), a non-profit educational institution and think tank. Our Outpost is working with the Post Carbon Institute on several transitional projects to explore in practice what the Interior Alaska way of life, governance, and economy might look like without the use of non-renewable hydrocarbons as energy and chemical feedstocks.

In addition to helping prepare for hydrocarbon scarcity, all of our projects are designed to improve the quality of life in the community and strengthen the local economy. Our initial projects are:

• Post Carbon Consulting for individuals and organizations
• Initiating "parallel public infrastructures"
• Post Carbon Alaska UAF campus club formed for Spring '05 semester
• Post Carbon Alaska weekly radio show on KSUA 91.5 FM College (UAF) Tuesday mornings from 9am to 12pm Alaska Standard Time
• Getting into the classrooms
• Peak Oil/Post Carbon curriculum for public schools and homeschoolers
• End of Suburbia screenings borough wide
• Local coal industry contemplation
• Restructuring and refocusing local economy
• Local food production for Ester, Alaska and Interior Alaska
• Firewood industry for rural communities
• Post carbon living skills workshops
