What to do

For all of us wondering what the hell we're going to do about PEAK OIL, here is an article referencing some ideas, comments, and people who are starting the change right in their homes.

It's a better idea to use the things we already have before buying more things labeled "green" because the energy it takes to create more objects far exceeds the energy already used to make a regular product. For example, why throw out all your incandescent light bulbs for fluorescents when that would double the waste. Don't get me wrong, I believe in the dollar vote and I think we should purchase more responsibly, so here is a company - TerraCycle - that is reusing plastic bottles and containers to house their own product which is good for the earth and creates no waste. Check out their website, see how they got started and what initiatives the company is generating.
