What our classmates think
about this project
 The students have posted some interesting opinions about the
activity and the issue of peak oil.

 One of them:
- “If you ask me, I personally think that this project about
Peak Oil is very interesting because of the topic, which is a
problem that everybody is speaking about nowadays, and
because doing that we are improving our English”.

 Another one:
-”Planning the solutions one of the most important steps is to
make people aware of their consumption range and become
more efficient. Another main point is to start recycling to
conserve our resources instead of wasting them. And how can
we forgot the use of public transport and bicycles as a
alternative to the personal individual car?”.

the topic?
  That we all spend and have spent too
much of everything
  That everything needs oil directly or
indirectly
  That the actual system is not
ecologically and economically
sustainable

SPECIAL PERIOD, in the early 90’s
to survive the oil crash.
