DESCRIPTION:The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil focuses on Cuba's 
 transition from an industrial petroleum-based society to a sustainable 
 society, as a result of their loss of petroleum when their source, the 
 Soviet Union, collapsed. With less than 2 weeks notice, Cubans were faced 
 with a 90% reduction in petroleum based products. With no food being 
 delivered to stores because of fuel shortages for transportation, on 
 average most Cubans lost 20 lbs. Lawns and public parks were turned into 
 vegetable gardens.\n\nThis era of Cuban history is called "The Special 
 Period" a time which radically transformed the Cuban society and economy, 
 as it necessitated the successful introduction of sustainable agriculture, 
 decreased use of automobiles, and overhauls of industry, health, and diet. 
 Relocalization, permaculture, and innovative modes of mass transit had to 
 be rapidly developed.\n\n"Everyone who is concerned about Peak Oil needs to 
 see this film. Cuba survived an energy famine during the 1990's, and how it 
 did so constitutes one of the most important and hopeful stories of the 
 past not just of individual achievement, but one of the collective 
 mobilization of an entire society to meet an enormous challenge."\nRichard 
 Heinberg, author of The Party's Over, Powerdown\n\nSocializing at 6pm, film 
 starts at 7pm.  \n\n
