What: Screening of “The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil”
Followed by a discussion on the impact of peak oil for Montreal.

Even if you have seen this film online or at another venue, please come and meet with other like-minded people to organize and plan for a future, sustainable Montreal!

Description: In the early 1990s, the Cuban population was faced with painful shortages of oil and other goods after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the tightening of the U.S. embargo. What happened to Cuba at that time is not only a case study for what is in store for the rest of us on the down-slope of the fossil fuel era, but also an inspiring example of what communities can do to live a more localized, ecological and healthy society, even in the face of climate change and the current financial meltdown.
