This is a special opportunity to hear Richard Heinberg speak and to meet the staff of the Post Carbon Institute (our main office recently relocated to Corvallis).

We face a species survival-level problem – the need to transition society away from our reliance on climate-changing fossil fuels. Yet national officials not only deny that this is a problem – they are determined to make it harder to solve. Political resistance is one path forward, but it is unlikely to succeed soon. Another response is local, grassroots action to build resilience at the community level.

It is at this level where those most affected by government policy have the greatest ability to shape it. It’s also the place where it may still be possible to work around political stereotypes to identify common values and goals.
