STN's growth: soon to outpace SUVs
Like it or not, oil supplies are dwindling and cheap oil is a thing of the past. Oil and fuel prices are still massively subsidized, guaranteeing disruptive supply crises within a decade perhaps. There is no time to wait to initiate alternative transport. STN's sponsors have developed Pedal Power Produce on land, to deliver food without petroleum (see www.lesscars.org below).
The Puget Sound is ideally located to serve as home base for the Sail Transport Network. As fuel prices continue to climb and the ice caps continue to melt, we can begin to re-establish sail transport and canoes and kayaks as healthy alternatives to trucks and motorized shipping in coastal areas and waterways.

The History Behind STN and FFPAI
The Fossil Fuels Policy Action Institute was founded in 1988. FFPAI is nonprofit, tax-deductible 501(c)(3) corporation, i.e., we are qualified to accept tax-deductible donations. We publish the Auto-Free Times and co-ordinate the Alliance for a Paving Moratorium. Our mission is to reduce dependence on petroleum and to promote non-motorized modes of transport. STN will serve as an internationally replicable model for sustainable transport networks in all coastal areas.
