Dennis Meadows will give a presentation Tuesday, December 11 at 7 p.m. at Heritage Commons entitled “Oil shortages and New Hampshire - Problems and Solutions.”
Meadows holds a PhD in Management from MIT and honorary doctorates from three European universities for contributions to environmental education. He is also the author or co-author of ten books. One, The Limits to Growth, was translated into more than 30 languages.
Meadows was a professor for 35 years respectively at MIT, Dartmouth College, and UNH, serving as director of various public policy institutes and receiving tenure in business, engineering, and social sciences.
During his presentation at PSU, Meadows will summarize the facts that suggest global oil production has already started to decline, and will indicate what effects we may see from this in New Hampshire. He will also suggest what could be done at a municipal level to reduce the consequences.
The event, sponsored by the Center for Rural Partners, is free and open to the public.  Light refreshments (local cider and other locally produced fare) will be served.  Please RSVP to Marsi Wisniewski (marsi@plymouth.edu, 603-535-3275), since seating may be limited.
