Freedom from the middle east and oil itself!
A global day of awareness of our addiction to oil and ways we can kick the habit.
Follow me after the fold for more info, and how to get involved...
From the environment to health and security, energy (sustainable and otherwise) truly does permeate our lives.
Oil Independence Day is going to be a global campaign to inject energy awareness into mainstream media and public consciousness.
While there are no specific local events planned yet, we are developing a strategy to reach out to social and environmental groups all over the world to help organize and promote the Day in their communities.
In the meantime, you can help us build some momentum here on facebook - here are a few things you can do in the next few minutes to add some fuel to the fire, (sorry for the pun):
- RSVP to the event and SHARE it on your profile.
- Easily invite all your friends here.
- Join the group, "Have you heard about Peak Oil?", the most active, intellectual and mature group re: this issue on facebook.
If you're like me then you're slightly annoyed at the collective power of online groups being wasted with "1,000,000 Strong for Stephen Colbert!" et al...
As much as I love him, we can do so much better right here, right now.
If you take a minute to invite all of your friends, and then they i turn invite theirs - I don't see how we couldn't have 10,000 people by May 1st.
So let's do this thing!
If you are a member of any political, energy, environmental or technology related groups please post/fwd the links on and become a champion for Oil Independence!
