It&#8217;s very interesting.  Particularly in light of what other people are doing or not doing.  I had a conversation with a co-worker recently who wasn&#8217;t sure if she was going to have a garden because of our drought.  I suggested that they set up a rain-catchment system to take advantage of what rainfall we do have.  We may be in an apartment right now which limits what we can do but we&#8217;re trying to do what we can in our limited space.  Aside from learning as much as possible we&#8217;re also growing at least some food.  Particularly things that are high cost like herbs and tomatoes.  We do have to make good choices, live locally, and be much more self-reliant than we are now.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve added several links about Peak Oil to the links list on the site.
