The oil economy generates conflict and destruction at every stage of its cycle. It seizes land, pollutes rivers and rides roughshod over those who stand in its way. It will fight wars and undermine international law to secure new supplies. It fuels the climate change which threatens all our futures with increasing freak weather, and blinds us to its impacts. This booklet brings together the info and contacts to break the cycle of oil addiction. The energy for a sustainable future is in your hands.
