About Us
The founders of PostPeakLiving.com are committed to helping people prepare for peak oil. Everyone alive on the planet has lived during the first half of the age of oil, typified by cheap and abundant oil, and no one has all the answers about what society will look like as oil becomes much more scarce and expensive. We passionately support people becoming informed and prepared, and know that a successful transition requires strong local communities. Each founder brings an extensive business and community service background to the creation of PostPeakLiving.com. We are working toward what's possible: a world full of thriving, bustling communities who have relocalized and reduced their dependency on oil.
