DESCRIPTION:THE POWER OF COMMUNITY: HOW CUBA SURVIVED PEAK OIL \nInspired by Jan 
 Lundberg \nCulture Change:  http://www.culturechange.org \n\nAfter the fall 
 of the Soviet Union in 1990, Cubans underwent the loss of over half of 
 their oil imports -- and survived. Cubans transformed their society from 
 large farms or plantations and reliance on fossil-fuel-based pesticides and 
 fertilizers to small organic farms and urban gardens. Cuba underwent a 
 transition from a highly industrial society to a sustainable one. This new 
 film gives hope to the developed world as it wakes up to the consequences 
 of being hooked on oil and lifts American’s prejudice of Cuba by showing 
 the Cuban people as they are. The filmmakers do this by having the Cuban 
 people tell their story on film. It’s a story of their dedication to 
 independence and triumph over adversity and a story of cooperation and 
 hope. Several Cubans expressed the belief that living on an island, with 
 its natural boundaries, breeds awareness that there are limits to natural 
 resources. Cuba is a living example of how a country can successfully 
 traverse what we all will have to deal with sooner or later: the reduction 
 and loss of finite fossil fuel resources.\n \nBefore and after the film, 
 everyone’s invited to indulge in our Humanist Tea House \n\n$5 donations 
 are accepted \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/08/29/18304492.php
