Great article!

We can support a more sustainable economy not based on the damaging 'growth' model.
The organizations CASSE www.steadystate.org and the UK-based, peak-oil-oriented Transition Towns Initiatives, which now has a US arm www.transitionus.org, are activists on this issue.

FYI At 945am eastern time there will be a live broadcast of a transitions film to address peak oil and climate change being shown at a Transition Network Conference in London.
I will be watching it at http://www.livestream.com/intransition this morning. If you are interested in grass roots local solutions to our global economic problems and have the time you might want to to view it too.

Update: It seems the audio portion of the livestream was not successful. The film will be posted for viewing soon at transitionculture.org

Hurrah for Transistion - it has helped me find kindred spirits in Boulder (you would think it is not hard to find environmentalists in this town, but actually, it is overrun by technocrats and as others have said - it is very hard for someone to understand something if their livelihood depends on not understanding it).

Also check out the networking site in your state (example http://transitioncolorado.ning.com)
