DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a special film presentation, cosponsored by the Post 
 Carbon Institute. Since World War II North Americans have invested much of 
 their newfound wealth in suburbia. It has promised a sense of space, 
 affordability, family life and upward mobility. As the population of 
 suburban sprawl has exploded in the past 50 years, so too the suburban way 
 of life has become embedded in the American consciousness. Suburbia, and 
 all it promises, has become the American Dream. But as we enter the 21st 
 century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability 
 of this way of life. With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of 
 Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet 
 approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to 
 outstrip supply. World Oil Peak and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels 
 are upon us now, some scientists and policy makers argue in this 
 documentary. The consequences of inaction in the face of this global crisis 
 are enormous. What does Oil Peak mean for North America? As energy prices 
 skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react 
 to the collapse of their dream? Are today's suburbs destined to become the 
 slums of tomorrow? And what can be done NOW, individually and collectively, 
 to avoid The End of Suburbia ? Directed by Gregory Greene. Produced by 
 Barry Silverthorn. Hosted by Barrie Zwicker. Featuring James Howard 
 Kunstler, Peter Calthorpe, Michael Klare, Richard Heinberg, Matthew 
 Simmons, Mike Ruppert, Julian Darley, Colin Campbell, Kenneth Deffeyes, Ali 
 Samsam Bakhtiari and Steve Andrews.
