[Editor's Note: Note Location Change to Cooper Union for the Second Two Days. They are also holding a full slate of events next week]

The schedule has been posted for the upcoming NYC Local Energy Solutions Conference. I am glad that the focus will be on solutions at the local level. The event is being put on by the local NYC peak oil meet-up group on a shoestring budget, so if you are in a position to be a sponsor, click here. I encourage anyone with a personal or professional interest to register for at least a day or two and maybe even volunteer. Moreover, please send a formal invitation to all of your local elected officials. Even if they don't come, they may take notice of the issue.

Pre-Conference Reception, Dinner - Wed. April 26th Location: Wai Cafe, 583 Avenue of the Americas ( 6 th Ave. ) between 16 th and 17 th Streets. (212).414.2003.

Reception - Food and conversation with the speakers who arrive in town early (we'll announce who later) at Café Wai from 6 – 8. Cost for this is $50.

Dinner - Pre Conference Dinner with the panelists – limited to 20 people. Have a chance to dine in an intimate warm setting where we've held our meetups for the year with 10 of our panelists. Cost is $125

Attend both reception and the Dinner for $150. Or you can choose the Full Package for $400 which includes reception, dinner and a 3 day ticket to the conference. To register for any of these events, please visit our registration site.

“Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is theharmonious integration of landscape and people providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way.” - Bill Mollison
