The Arthur Morgan Institute for Community Solutions, founded in 1940, is a non-profit organization based in Yellow Springs, Ohio that educates on the benefits and values of small local community living. They envision a world where people live sustainably and cooperatively in local communities which are diverse, equitable, and just. Community Solutions is a national resource for knowledge and practices on low-energy living and self-reliant communities. The organization educates about the coming global oil production peak and climate change, and design solutions to the current unsustainable, fossil-fuel based, overly centralized way of living. Community Solutions seek alternatives to both non-renewables and renewables that are risky and intended to maintain inequitable and unsustainable levels of resource consumption.

Their strategies:

* Educating the public about the evidence for and possible responses to:

1. The coming decline in global fossil fuel production
2. The human costs of increasing global inequity.
3. The threat of climate change

* Providing individuals with clear, high-quality data so they can gain the analytical skills required to evaluate both personal and societal options for reducing energy use.
* Advocating for solutions which immediately and rapidly reduce per capita energy use, while promoting cooperative, local, and low-energy community living.

The Community Solutions program, started in 2003, is a national resource for knowledge and practices on low-energy living and self-reliant communities. They educate about the coming global oil production peak and climate change, and design solutions to the current unsustainable, fossil-fuel based, overly centralized way of living.
