Description: Tour a suburban permaculture backyard, ride an electric bike, learn about renewables, car-sharing, intentional communities, and the elephant in the peak oil living room.
"Peak Moment - Locally Reliant Living for Challenging Times" features people creating engaging lives and thriving, resilient communities for a more sustainable, lower-energy future.
The half-hour biweekly programs feature host Janaia Donaldson's conversations and tours with grassroots entrepreneurs creating sustainable households and communities. Guests also provide perspectives that make sense of rapidly-changing economic, energy, and climate challenges.
Topics include local food production; renewable energy; transportation alternatives; sustainable building and economic, business, and personal responses.
Many of the programs were taped along the west coast of North America. This program may not be about your specific community, but it's about everybody's communities in our global community. Stations and viewers tell us they love this show: it's personal, engaging, very local, inspirational, and informative.
And with the economic downturn -- it's timely. The heart of this program are stories told by people about their ideas and actions to live with a smaller footprint, to be connected to the earth and each another, to be more self-sufficient while they protect themselves and their families in the downturn.
The series (166 episodes as of March 2010) has aired for three years on about two dozen community access stations nationwide including Manhattan & Brooklyn NY, Sacramento, San Francisco, and mostly many smaller communities.
It was the winner of the 2007 and 2009 Western Access Video Award for Excellence in local Cable Programming in the "Talk Show - Issues/Professional" category. (Alliance for Community Media Western States Region).
