Bay Localize Our Goal: To increase community livability and local resilience while decreasing fossil fuel use. Our Projects: - Campaign for Bay Area Localization - Localization Asset Map - Rooftop Resources Project

In Context: Peak Oil & Gas World consumption today: 84M barrels/day World demand by 2025: 120M barrels/day ASPO predicts global oil peak in 2010 Major oil finds peaked in ‘ 60s; in decline DOE-funded Hirsch report (2005), GAO study (2007) confirm peak oil Peak natural gas in N. America as early as ’ 08; world gas peak likely by 2018

Implications of Dwindling Fossil Fuels Growing international conflict over remaining energy supplies Shift from car-centered transport to buses, rail, bicycles, walking Transition from petrochemical- based products and derivatives Progressive reduction of imports as shipping costs continue to rise Localization of food, energy, water, manufacturing, finance Less of this… More of this…

Further possibilities…

What is localization? Building the capacity of our communities to provide for our own needs, sustainably and equitably, especially in key areas like food, energy, water, manufacturing, and finance. What are the benefits? Stronger local economies Improved environment (i.e., lower greenhouse emissions, pollution) Balanced relationship between human needs and local ecology Enhanced democratic self-governance Reduced dependence on oil and imported goods Greater readiness for supply disruptions/price spikes Healthier communities and sense of place

Campaign for Bay Area Localization Collaborative effort among several area organizations to build a more localized, resilient, and equitable economy. Activities: Building a Resilient and Equitable Bay Area report Public localization forums at Oakland City Hall (2006), U.C. Berkeley (June 2007) Food Policy Council Community Choice Energy Campaign – Joint effort underway between Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland – Goals: leverage buying power of cities to reach 50% renewable energy mix by 2017 and achieve lower rates than PG&E – Regional alliance working to educate public, push for adoption

Localization Asset Map An online and print directory of local food, energy, and materials reuse efforts underway throughout the Bay Area. Purpose: Connect local organizers and advocates with one another Direct new volunteers to localization initiatives, projects, and programs Demonstrate what it means to localize our economies

Rooftop Resources Project Assessing the environmental and economic benefits of rooftop gardens, renewable energy, and rainwater catchment systems, while developing tools for people to start their own projects. Activities: Monthly project meetings Neighborhood assessment in Oakland’s Eastlake Pilot projects – Berkeley EcoHouse – Epicurious Garden Rooftop Resources Guide Green Jobs Forum (2008)
