Oil Addicts Anonymous

Oil Addicts Anonymous (OAA) has one primary purpose: to help ourselves, our corporations, and our governments end oil addiction.

Oil Addiction is a disease that strikes all of us because our society is set up to feed the addiction. Breaking that addiction will require a system-wide change. OAA provides a place to start.

We aim to have OAA meetings in every community on the continent. Though our society's oil addiction is old, OAA is new, and we need your help to fulfill its mission of ending America's addiction to oil. Sign up now and find out if there's an OAA chapter in your community.  If not, create your own!

How do you start your new OAA group?

All that’s required:

  • Two or three people that want to end our nation’s addiction to oil.
  • A place to meet.
  • A coffeepot and some fair trade coffee.
  • The new OAA guide.
  • A dream for a better, fossil fuel free world.

How OAA Members Stay Clean

Here are some of the ways OAA members are trying to kick the habit:

  • Joining bicycle collectives.
  • Mobilizing your university or college to fight oil addiction.
  • Forming a local bio-diesel collective.
  • Attempting to live oil free for a day, week, or month.
  • Linking their local anti-war or human rights groups with OAA and oil addiction.
  • Working to pass city, state or national policy to improve fuel economy standards or green the grid.
  • Becoming a Plug-in Partner.

We encourage you to join this growing movement. Call OAA national at (800) 497-1994 ext. 230 or (415) 398-4404 and let them know that you are ready to end the addiction.  Or email at OAA@globalexchange.org or nile@ran.org.
