I'm Emily Pollard, an organizer with Portland Peak Oil since last April. This is a blog attempting to record the ongoing development of our grassroots, community-building, localization group as it helps to prepare the Portland metro are for peak oil.

I've received requests from all over the country asking for advice on how to start and conduct a local group preparing for peak oil. This blog is for those folks, as well as Portland Peak Oil participants who are curious about what's going on "behind the scenes" of PPO's organizing.

I will be blogging here a few times per week or more. Please bookmark this page and keep reading!
