Welcome to Washington County Peak Oil!

Our Mission:

As a group of concerned local citizens with diverse backgrounds and interests, motivated by an awareness of the looming crisis caused by the peaking of world petroleum supplies and by a hopeful vision of future possibilities, we have come together to:

• Create awareness in Washington County about the peak oil crisis and it's economic, environmental and social implications.
• Serve as a community network to identify and share individual and collective strategies to effectively cope with the peak oil crisis.
• Influence policies of local governments for constructive and sustainable solutions.
