Cafe Voltaire/Benicia, CA as a showcase for Relocalization efforts

Janlcg — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 17:49:23 -0700

Hello to All Post-Carbonites,
After months of planning and hard work, Cafe Voltaire, our labor of love in Benicia, is about to open. We want it to be a showcase for promoting Relocatization efforts in our community and use it as a meeting place for implementing Post-Carbon principles.

The cafe is named after the Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire, and modeled after the European coffee houses that were sources of intellectual thought and revolutionary change. We hope Cafe Voltaire will spark a new revolution and enlightenment in the face of a Post-Carbon world. I personally see the issues of oil dependency--the environment - and war as intricately related; I also belong to the Green Party and CodePink and intend to promote their values/issues as well.

At this time, we would like to invite your ideas, comments about things we can do, (workshops, speakers, internet networking) and things we can sell such as local organic/ fair trade products and alternatives to petroleum-based products. Eventually, we would like Cafe Voltaire to serve as a model business for Relocalization efforts; endless fundraising is no fun, let's use the market to make relocalizing a reality.

So feel free to contact us with your ideas/suggestions. We would love to hear from you and hope you can visit us soon.

Best regards to all and thanks for all your hard work on this most important issue of our time,

Jan Cox Golovich

ARGENTINA: Urban Gardens Provide More than Just Food

ARGENTINA: Urban Gardens Provide More than Just Food
Marcela Valente

For the original article click here.

BUENOS AIRES, Feb 9 (IPS) - The community gardens initially created to help confront the effects of the late 2001 economic collapse in Argentina have now "grown" into a government-run urban agriculture programme, which provides unemployed workers with much more than just food for their families' tables.

Some 7,000 people who were out of work before entering the programme have joined forces to clear the land, plant and harvest vegetables, and sell their produce in street market stalls.

Creation of a Online Plant Compatability Database

Flombula — Thu, 09 Feb 2006 23:48:48 -0800

Having just begun to sink my teeth into Bill Mollisonâ€™s permaculture "Bible," an idea popped into my head last night pertaining to species selection and utilizing our technological ally known as the internet. It starts with the notion that different species clearly have an effect on eachother, sometimes mutually beneficial, sometimes harmful, etc. For instance, walnut trees hinder or kill apple trees and acacia trees and apple trees are mutually beneficial. It is important when selecting plants for a garden or food forest to know which ones work well together or not. So, I think it would be useful to have an online database to collect and share this important information.

Audio: William R. Clark, Author "Petrodollar Warfare: Oil, Iraq and the Future of the Dollar"

Janlcg — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 22:09:52 -0800

To listen to this lecture, go to:

http://novakeo.com/?p=411#more-411

The notion that Iraq was invaded to prevent the development of weapons of mass destruction, or to combat terrorism, has long been discredited. But a growing consensus believes that Iraqâ€™s oil was surely a prime reason for US actions. However, author William Clark argues convincingly in Petrodollar Warfare that the rationale for intervening was not just for control of the oil fields, but also for control of the means by which oil is traded in global markets.

Petrodollar Warfare discusses the crucial shift in US monetary policy during the 1970s away from the gold standard to becoming the monopoly currency for worldwide oil sales, effectively enabling the US to dominate world trade.

Hello Everyone
I have several items that I would like to share with you.

I have been carrying a picket sign and agitating since the Civil Rights days and the frame of reference continues to grow larger. Now we are in discussion of the question, "Are the humans a failed species?"
Simply, a species that destroys what feeds it (habitat)and a species that cannot insure the continuance of its young, cannot survive on the planet.

In my books "The Final Empire" and "Garden Planet," I have detailed the ecological and cultural history of civilization (as well as solutions). In broad terms we as a species changed from a species that generally lived in balance with the ecological energy flows of the planet's life. (forager/hunters) With the development of agriculture and subsequently, our species has lived from biological accumulations that sustain the planet's life. (topsoil, forests, fish stocks, oil, etc) This is a parasitical rather than symbiotic relationship.

PEAKING OF WORLD OIL PRODUCTION: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS, POLICY OPTIONS AND PRUDENT ACTIONS

RICHARD HEINBERG, Author, The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies; Editor, Museletter; Core Faculty Member, New College of California

Mounting evidence suggests that the rate of global oil production may be nearing its all-time maximum. Richard Heinberg, North America's foremost peak oil educator, asserts that as an inevitable decline sets in, economic, social and political impacts are likely to be severe. He will discuss the latest petroleum data, a recent government-sponsored report on peak oil and the Oil Depletion Protocol, which may be the best path for the United States and other nations to avert economic crisis, resource wars and terrorism during the second half of the Age of Oil.
