About the Book

Humanity is on the brink of extinction because of our over dependency on petroleum to bring food to our tables. As our use of oil has increased, so too has our world population along with oil's use. When oil supplies decline, and they are already starting to, we will be facing ever more hardship and challenges in supplying our tables with food.

This book addresses the need to take positive action immediately to minimize effects of declining oil supplies at the kitchen table level. It is a book about the possibility of survival in spite of the odds due to individual effort and community planning and support. It is an urgent request to take positive steps today in order to assure food supplies in the future and offset the drastic effects oil DEPLETION will have on our food supplies. It is a book of individual empowerment one kitchen table at a time.

About the Author

A concerned citizen who has been writing for 40 years on our over-dependency on petroleum products in our society. I have two children, both committed in Community building as well and thus a great steak in seeing they survive into the future along with the rest of our civilization. I'm 57. Limited mobility has left me with time to read and write of these concerns. I am also blessed with many very knowledgeable and busy friends encouraging me on with ever more information, and who patiently edited the book many times over.
