San Francisco Peak Oil Resolution

Members of San Francisco Oil Awareness (ones of several local groups at http://www.sfbayoil.org) formed a committee last December to lobby the San Francisco board of supervisors to pass a resolution on peak oil. The resolution was passed on Tuesday April 11th, 2006, hence the day being coined "4-11".

Dennis Brumm, a member of the Supervisor's Subcommittee of San Francisco Oil Awareness, speaks with David Room about this tremendous accomplishment.

Huntington Beach Councilor Debbie Cook on Enagaging Local Government

She suggests concrete methods of establishing relationships and communicating with councilors that generally work better than haranguing the councilors at their monthly meeting. She also talks about her experiences in trying to raise awareness of peak oil with her colleagues and peers in municipal government.
