Here's one of those few times that TV provides some important education. How would YOU do without oil? This documentary will surely give viewers something to think about - how dependent our current society is dependent on oil; and maybe some solutions on alternatives.

RECIPES FOR DISASTER (90 minutes)
What happens when a determined young family gives up all oil-based
products for a year? Filmmaker John Webster and his family decided to
own up to their transgressions and kick their addiction to oil. They
committed to a one-year "oil detox". It's quite simple really: the
family will go on with their suburban lives, but without using any
fossil fuels, driving cars or flying in airplanes. They won't buy
anything packaged in plastic like food, makeup, shampoo, toothpaste or
kids' toys. This last item proves a particular challenge to Webster's
two young sons.
