On the 9th of November we screened The Power of Community, How Cuba Survived Peak Oil. The event was well attended: we had nearly 50 people there. The film first set out the background to Cuba's energy crisis and explained the issue of peak oil. This was followed by a most inspring insight in the practicalities of how they dealt with the oil shortage. It was amazing to discover that 50-70% of food was cultivated within the cities, farmers were highly respected and well paid, health care wass a national priority and free for all. It was suggested that we might have an event in December afterall, to remind people to be frugal with energy and resources. Watch this space & thanks to all who attended.
