DESCRIPTION:East Bay Post Carbon meeting  Wednesday, April 20, 7 to 10 PM  Rockridge 
 Library, Oakland  This will be a potluck, and activities will start at 
 7:30pm.  Please bring dishware, a glass, and utensils, in case no one 
 brings extras.  Post Carbon Institute  Learning to Live in a Low-Energy 
 World  Based on the Institute's research and studying the research of 
 others, we have come to the conclusion that there is no panacea to get us 
 out of the energy and ecological predicaments that human civilization 
 faces.   At Bay Area Peak Oil meetings, we exchange information with each 
 other, and to educate our friends and neighbors about the urgency of this 
 crisis. Drop your fear! Join us in making our community one that will 
 adapt, survive & prosper in a Post-Carbon economy.  This month:  - David 
 Room, will lead the Personal Footprint and Post Carbon Challenge Workshop  
 - Cal Simone, guest speaker, will give a talk on consumerism at the end of 
 the age of oil, followed by Q & A  - Brainstorming session on organizing 
 the group and forming a steering committee.     Personal Footprint and 
 Post Carbon Challenge Workshop - led by David Room  Explore how we as a 
 group may reduce our personal energy and ecological footprints and also how 
 we might as a group develop an optional "post carbon challenge" or 
 agreement that will reduce our energy consumption. We will develop the 
 framework of an agreement for reducing personal energy and simplifying 
 their lives, and the accompanying processes that will support their 
 efforts.  The resulting agreement is optional and encouraged, flexible, 
 and milestones are celebrated, and can serve as “challenge” for members 
 of the group and for the community.  David Room is the Bay area 
 communications director for Post Carbon.  Talk: Consumerism at the End of 
 the Oil Age - Cal Simone  Americans are fixated on consumption, be it 
 material possessions, adrenaline rushes, or the co-opting of our spirit. 
  But how much of that fixation is inducted by the psyche of America as an 
 institution?  What's really going in the national psyche that would have us 
 consume without reasonable limits?  How does this relate to the end of the 
 age of oil, and what are our choices?  Cal Simone is a Jungian scholar, 
 teacher, coach, and writer who has dedicated his life to bringing what's in 
 the collective unconscious to consciousness.  He is writing a book on the 
 current energetic state and trends of the American collective psyche.  \n
