The Northern Michigan Environmental Action Council (NMEAC) has announced a series of talks, the Forum for Tomorrow.

The first Forum for Tomorrow will be on the subject of the Public Trust Doctrine. It will be held on Friday, February 17 at Horizon Books basement in the early evening from 6 to 8 pm. Jim Olson, of Olson, Bzdoc and Howard P.C., a Traverse City expert attorney in environmental law, will review this concept and show how its elaboration can radically restructure our environmental law.

It will be followed in May by the Precautionary Principle, with Ted Schettler, Science Director of the Science and Environmental Health Network (SEHN).

Ann Rogers will host a series of Wednesday programs on Peak Oil on TCTV2 sponsored by the NMEAC EdComm and Community Solutions Inc. This will begin February 8 at 7:00. The series will describe Peak Oil, the idea that our supply of oil has reached a maximum and will now decline. Advocates of this idea claim that peak oil will radically impact our entire way of life just as transportation affects where we live, what we eat, what it costs and how we build our cities.
