David Nelson Gimbel, founder and director of Archaeos, Inc., discusses the complex interactions between the cultural heritage of the past and the humanist philosophy of the present that is determining the fate of archaeological sites around the world.

In Part 1, Jeremy outlines our "addiction" to oil, and details three assumptions that we have about oil -- namely business as usual will prevail, that there is plenty of oil left, and markets will solve the problem of depletion. For each assumption, Jeremy provides a reality check.

In Part 2 of Peak Oil and South Africa - Impacts and Mitigation, Jeremy Wakeford continues to detail our erroneous assumptions about oil and its substitutes, and shows us how we are heading for a reality check mate. This is followed by an analysis of the global and South African implications of Peak Oil. EcoDoc Africa in collaboration with the Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO) South Africa produced this three part video documentary.

Part 3 focuses on how we can respond to the challenges of Peak Oil. Jeremy Wakeford argues that our society must urgently embark on a 'sustainability mobilisation' that revolutionises our energy, transport and industrial systems, underpinned by a shift in values to reflect environmental realities. He suggests practical responses that can be taken by government, businesses and individuals. He concludes with a reminder that Peak Oil is NOW, that the impacts will intensify, and that proactive mitigation can ease the inevitable transition to sustainability.
