DESCRIPTION:THE POWER OF COMMUNITY: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil \nPresented by the 
 Sierra Club of Northern Alameda County \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 accepted \n
