Dmitry Orlov who is perhaps now one of the most well known people in the Peak Oil community will be coming to Dublin in June and will be giving a public lecture titled: Creative Solutions for the New Emergency on Tues 9th June in the Davenport Hotel, Dublin 2.

Dmitry will be here to take part in a Feasta organised conference from 10th to 12th June and will be a keynote speaker in that event.

Dmitry Orlov, author of Reinventing Collapse, will explore the question "What is it that we are looking at here, and what can we do about it?" He believes that there is not much hope for a global financial system and economy, nor should there be given the huge problems it is causing with the environment. If this is the case, then what can people do, in terms of coping with financial collapse, creating community resilience, and re-skilling for the new, local, self-reliant, highly manual age that is coming? read full story / add a comment

The long running struggle in Erris (Rossport) against Shell's attempt to impose an experimental gas pipeline on the local community has erupted in recent days with repeated local direct actions against the compound Shell are trying to construct.

At very short notice over 20 activists from Dublin Shell to Sea gathered at the prison gates and showed their outrage by blocking the entrance of the prison van containing Maura in to Mountjoy for about twenty minutes. read full story / add a comment
