"Say Bye-Bye to the Status Quo:

Why the Next Decade Will Be All About Resilience" 

Our 20th century focus on making fossil fuels cheaply and abundantly available completely transformed daily life for many of us, while hiding and unfairly distributing the costs.

The bills for this industrial bonanza are finally coming due for all life on this planet. The interrelated economic, energy, environmental, and equity crises we now face are challenging us in unprecendented ways, inviting our urgent and creative response. 

Join us as Post Carbon Institute Executive Director Asher Miller explores how building resilience can help us successfully navigate these challenges and take this
opportunity to reshape our lives.
