This could be a problem, fellow members of the TWG, unless we want to start teaming up with David Vazquez (I know him). Also, note to JMC, if I can get ahold of the minutes from the February general meeting, I will type them up. Sue --- howard strassner <ruthow@juno.com> wrote:

The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream A video Screening and follow-up discussion that will include panelists and roundtable audience commentary.

If you haven�t heard about this sobering, powerful, and controversial film, you need to check it out now as you think about and plan for your future. It's not the idea that we're running out of oil, but that we're running out of

CHEAP oil, and the consequences of what this --what some are calling "peak oil syndrome"-- on both an oil-based economy and globalism in general are staggering. Yet, it may also prove to be a crisis leading to positive opportunity. Please join us for what promises to be a stimulating evening of discussion and learning.

This event is the first in a series of seminars focusing on livable cities and ecologically sustainable "green" urban design.
