I wrote 2 email letters to friends and family. I also weave in bits about sustainability and oil prices and other little facts that might help them connect the dots.
So what have been the reactions from your family and friends?

Were these open letters or did you actually send/email them to family and friends?

Oh I actually wrote a mass email.

Some wrote email back saying I was over-reacting or that I had it backwards - prices go up and then people conserve as a result. Some others wrote very encouraging notes but didn't quite embrace the peak oil concept, but more general ideas about saving the environment. Mostly I got no reaction at all...
