Oil Independent Berkeley

The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil tells the story of how Cuba transitioned to a sustainable society when it lost its access to Soviet oil in the 1990s. Through cooperation, conservation and community, Cubans learned how to grow organic food on local farms and urban gardens. As the United States faces its own looming peak oil crisis, Cuba's triumph offers an inspiring vision for change.

Following the movie, join us for a discussion of peak oil and how to move toward local, sustainable food production.
