The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil – Dec. 13, 2006

December 13th is the next Awareness Video Night presentation: “The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil”.  This newly-released documentary explores what happened in Cuba in 1990 when their supply of gas and oil was cut in half. A rare view into this island culture, this film documents how Cuba became a living example of a country successfully transitioning to small organic farms and urban gardens, renewable energy and large scale mass transit. It demonstrates how a society can change from an industrial global focus to a local, community-based one. 7 p.m. EMCS theatre. By donation.
