A.P.P.L.E. Nevada County (Alliance for a Post-Petroleum Local Economy)
A grassroots group concerned about the repercussions of higher priced or less available oil and natural gas in Nevada County. APPLE is a local, nonpartisan citizen forum to develop practical solutions for the challenges ahead. Our vision is of a more self-reliant, sustainable local economy which is localized - the opposite of globalized: we produce locally what we consume locally, as much as possible.

Post Carbon Institute/Relocalization Network:
A think, action and education tank offering research, project tools, education and information to implement proactive strategies to adapt to an energy constrained world. The development of Post Carbon Institute came out of concern for the environmental, social, political and economic ramifications of global over-reliance on cheap energy. Our main response to these concerns is the strategy of Relocalization, which aims to rebuild societies based on the local production of food and energy, and the Relocalization of currency, governance and culture. The main goals of re-localization are to increase community energy security, strengthen local economies, and dramatically improve environmental conditions and social equity. (Sebastopol, CA)
