Santa Monica leads the way towards sustainability in the face of peak oil

Etopia Media – On August 7, 2006, Shannon Parry, Environment Analyst, Sustainable City Program, City of Santa Monica, California, recorded an in-depth interview a guest on the now-launching Sustainability Channel to talk about efforts by this city on the western edge of North America, through its Sustainable City Plan, to make Santa Monica a sustainable city, whatever the schedule for the arrival of peak oil.

What emerged during this interview with Ms. Parry was that Santa Monica doesn’t need to create a separate plan or commission to deal with the threat of peak oil because its long-in-place (since 1994) and recently-upgraded (2003) sustainability program/plan has already given it the tools it needs to deal comprehensively with the inevitable and possibly imminent peaking of the Petroleum Age.
