Pass a Peak Oil Resolution

One of the easiest ways for municipalities to prepare for and respond to the forthcoming oil shortage is to pass a Peak Oil resolution. A Peak Oil resolution calls for:

  • Peak Oil to be considered a serious issue
  • a city-wide assessment funded by the mayor to be undertaken

And going forward...

  • the endorsement of the Oil Depletion Protocol
