9. Water The water-energy nexus Embodied energy Peak Oil is not the same as Peak Water—there are no substitutes for water Water and Populations not co-located Green Infrastructure cuts carbon intensity Conservation cuts energy intensity Water policy needs to be linked to energy policy 9MPP 655 - Module 6

10. Food Industrial agriculture relies on fossil fuels Industrial agriculture adversely impacts the soil Industrial agriculture delinks communities from their sources of food Food miles are only half the story Eating “high” on the food chain increases impacts Localization leads to community gardening Community supported agriculture (CSAs) and farmers markets help move us along 10MPP 655 - Module 6

11. Summary Getting away from single-occupancy gasoline powered vehicles Getting toward a low-carbon infrastructure Getting away from a fossil fuel based energy system Linking water and energy to get toward water conservation Getting toward a low-carbon food system 11MPP 655 - Module 6
