About Me


..Simply put, oil dependency threatens us all, and EndOil exists to do something about that threat, now.EndOil is a non-profit organization, founded in 2004, dedicated to fostering direct action to break the deadly hold that oil dependency has on America and the world. Specifically, EndOil works to increase conservation and decrease global oil consumption by educating and moving individuals, governments, and civil society towards non-petroleum sources of energy. EndOil also seeks to replace current exploitative models of fuel production and use with those that respect sovereignty, economic and social justice, dignity, and human rights. In order to do this, it creates, invests in, and administers campaigns, partners with like-minded organizations, provides educational information, and creates a forum for discussion.
EndOil organizes and supports initiatives and movements that:
• Monitor and call attention to the impacts of oil dependency;
• Educate on and promote responsible alternatives;
• Resist oil-related activities and those entities that promote and profit from them;
• Work to repair the damage, both human and environmental, of oil dependency.
Stay in the loop! Find out the latest information and ways you can help. Join us.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other individuals and organizations committed to fighting global warming, health risks associated with emissions-based pollution, damage to marine life and environment, and above all else, people interested in fighting big oil companies and the power structure that protects them.

Tips to Kick the Habit
