Fifth screening in an Environmental Film series:
“The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil”
WHEN: November 10, 2010, beginning at 6:30pm
WHERE: Ballroom, Citywide Senior Center, 806 Massachusetts Ave, CambridgeCambridge, MA
"When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba's economy went into a tailspin. With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 80 percent – people were desperate. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people during this difficult time. Cubans share how they transitioned from a highly mechanized, industrial agricultural system to one using organic methods of farming and local, urban gardens."
More info available at http://www.powerofcommunity.org
*A FREE event, with light refreshments provided*
Co‐sponsored by the Cambridge Renewable Energy Action Team (CREATe), the Cambridge Energy
Alliance (CEA), Sierra Club: The Greater Boston group, the Office of the Vice Mayor Henrietta Davis, and
