The Urban Sustainability Group will be screening The power of Community, How Cuba Survived Peak oil. The film looks at how cuba dealt with severe shortages of oil by turning to alternative agriculture and shows how peak oil can be used to rebuild community. The shortages cuba underwent provide a useful picture of what the rest of the world is going to have to go through over the next decades and provides clues for how we can best deal with the challenges posed by peak oil

The film is an hour long and we will be sharing coffee and cake afterwards.
