Toby,
I just read your article "Is Sustainable Agriculture an Oxymoron?" and I have
to say, Wow! I felt it so deeply, but I didn't have the words. Thank you
very much! I just moved your book to the top of my Amazon wishlist, ahead of
Yeomans, J. Russell Smith, and Savory.

other governmental agencies; work to educate the community; and, to
develop a /Bloomington Peak Oil Task Force Report/ for approval by the
Mayor and Common Council outlining strategies the City and community
might pursue to mitigate the effect of declining fuel supplies in areas
including, but not limited to: transportation, municipal services,
energy production and consumption, food security, water and wastewater.
The Task Force is required to present its /Report/ to the Mayor and
