SUMMARY:Kits Transition Village Movie Night (with a potluck, of course
 !): Power of Community -- How Cuba Survived Peak Oil
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a potluck and screening of Power of Com
 munity: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil (2006, 53 min.), followed by a disc
 ussion on how this relates to Kits Village, VV, and the Transition Tow
 n movement.\nChild friendly.\nRSVP here.\nWhen Cuba lost access to Sov
 iet Oil in the early 1990's, the country faced an immediate crisis -- 
 feeding the population -- and an ongoing challenge: how to create a ne
 w low-energy society. Cuba transitioned from large, fossil-fuel intens
 ive farming to small, less energy-intensive farming, and from a highly
  industrial society to a more sustainable one.\nThis film tells the st
 ory of the Cuban people's hardship, ingenuity and triumph over sudden 
 adversity -- through cooperation, conservation and community, told in 
 their own words. As the world approaches Peak Oil, Cuba provides a val
 uable example of how to successfully address the challenge of reducing
  our energy use.\n\"Everyone who is concerned about Peak Oil needs to 
 see this film. Cuba survived an energy famine during the 1990's, and h
 ow it did so constitutes one of the most important and hopeful stories
  of the past few decades. It is a story not just of individual achieve
 ment, but of the collective mobilization of an entire society to meet 
 an enormous challenge.\"\n-Richard Heinberg, author of The Party's Ove
