We are all familiar with the maxim "Think globally, act locally". Up until now, this site has been concerned with the former—thinking globally. Today, we are launching a feature that will facilitate the latter—acting locally. This feature is called TOD Local. TOD Local is a collection of on-line communities; each community is concerned with peak oil issues that arise in a particular geographic locality.

Some of you are familiar with the work of peakguy and colleagues over at Peak Oil NYC. We are happy to announce that Peak Oil NYC will be the first TOD Local site. If you want an idea of what we envision, we encourage you to look at the work they have done. You can now find Peak Oil NYC at nyc.theoildrum.com.

We would like to have places from all over the world represented, so if you want to start a TOD local site, we encourage you to contact editors at theoildrum dot com. We prefer that you already have a blog going so we can evalulate whether you content is appropriate for the site, and we would like you to have at least two people, but preferably three or four who will post to your site.
