Working towards a sustainable Bristol where everyone's needs and aspirations are met now and into the future without depriving others here and elsewhere of the chance to meet their needs and aspirations.

Peak Oil Graph

Peak Oil Exhibition at CREATE

Peak oil describes the point at which the amount of oil produced globally in a single year reaches its absolute maximum. From this point onward the amount of oil produced will decline. Increasingly oil will come from more difficult sources, which along with scarcity will increase prices.

Our current way of life relies on the availability of an abundant supply of cheap oil.

This exhibition shows how many groups and projects in Bristol are already exploring ways of getting the best out of life in a less oil intensive world. Come and be inspired to join in.
