The Arthur Morgan Institute for Community Solutions (founded in 1940 as Community Service, Inc by innovator/educator Arthur Morgan), a non-profit organization, has been a leader in the growing peak oil awareness movement for nearly eight years, where we have been active in public education, original research and publication, and solutions design. AMIFCS organized and put on the First, Second, Third, and Fourth U.S. Conferences on Peak Oil and Community Solutions with over 1000 attendees combined, produced the award winning film, The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil, released the highly acclaimed book, Plan C: Community Survival Strategies for Peak Oil and Climate Change in 2008, and has published nineteen ground-breaking New Solutions reports.The organizations advocates for sustainable lifestyle solutions as opposed to technological solutions, and emphasizes the values of conservation and curtailment in reducing our energy use. Its mission is to teach people about the value and benefits of small local community and design solutions to the current unsustainable, fossil fuel based, industrialized, and centralized way of living. Our mission is to provide knowledge and practices to support low energy lifestyles, with a primary focus on reducing energy consumption in the household sectors of food, transportation and housing.
