Seacoast Sustainable Living Community

When it comes to the environment and moving beyond oil, this local group plans to be part of the solution

What if there wasn’t enough fuel left to get all that great California produce we squeeze in the supermarket or if the fuel was just so expensive, we couldn’t afford that delicious orange? Not finding the food we need might be just one consequence of “peak oil” which, according to The Community Solution, is that point at which we will be extracting the most oil per day from the ground than we ever will. And it will all go downhill from there. Soon we won’t be able to afford the fuel that gives us our food, our widgets, our machines


“Larry and I are concerned that our current way of life will not be our way of life when we are seniors/elderly and when our children are young to middle-aged adults. We wanted to focus our energy on living sustainably and we wanted to learn from and share that interest with others. We believe that a large part of the solution is a strong local community,” says Esmonde.

The group provides opportunities for those interested in living more sustainably including monthly meetings on topics like reducing your personal carbon footprint, peak oil, composting, Slow Food, local agriculture, wind and solar power and many other topics.
