Randy White, Portland Mayor's Peak Oil Task Force
Greg Green, director, Escape From Suburbia, and The End of Suburbia

Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream. The film "The End of Suburbia" introduced the concept of peak oil. Now, in Escape from Suburbia, theory gives way to reality as a global debate rages over when demand will outpace supply, an emerging movement of citizens’ groups confront our addiction to oil, and three disparate characters and a small California town take on the most dramatic shift in modern history.

Escape from Suburbia is a wake-up call that challenges the illusion of never-ending growth based on the availability of cheap and abundant oil. Expert opinion and commentary from government and industry are countered by on-the-street skepticism from a growing segment of the population who’ve had personal experiences with natural disasters, rising gas prices and fragile energy grids. In Escape from Suburbia, viable local alternatives for citizens and communities are explored to ensure the survival of a sustainable civilization in the 21st Century and beyond.

Sponsors included Eugene's public utility, EWEB; EPUD utility disctrict; Lane County's public transit, LTD, and Central Presbyterian Church.
