LEAH McBEY'S TOWN PLAN FOR DUNEDIN

An Economic Anti-Depressant











Leah McBey speaking at EECA Forum 2006

Leah McBey understands the significance of a
monolithic fuel based culture that is coming to an
end. She is a Dunedin City Councillor with a
vision of how society could function after Peak Oil.

Leah has written a Town Plan - a manual of how to
cope in the post Peak Oil age or in a time of real economic
hardship and shortage of money.

I recently meet Leah at the EECA
(Energy Efficency and Conservation Authority)
Forum in Nelson and was impressed with
her understanding of the most important issue (Peak
Oil) that faces the world today. She is also measured
in the way she goes about communicating. Its all mixed
up with the consumer society and climate change so
we have to take this very seriously.

Leah is one very articulate and gifted person who is more
than a match for most of the men she is working with, and
occasionally clobbered by, but she survives and continues to
offer her insights into the future that is now.

Copies of LEAH MCBEY'S TOWN PLAN FOR DUNEDIN
can be ordered by sending $10 .00 plus $2.00 postage and
