ELS – Movie Night, Nov. 19, 6 pm, L-134

Take a quick break from studying and learn how a nation survived when the fossil fuels were cut off. Environmental Law Society will be screening The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil on Friday, November 19 at 6 pm in L-134. Come enjoy the movie, some popcorn, a refreshing beverage, and learn about something besides the law for 53 minutes.

Movie Synopsis: “After Cuba lost access to Soviet oil in the early 1990s, feeding its population became a critical challenge. Cuba transitioned from large, fossil-fuel intensive farming to small, less energy-intensive organic farms and urban gardens to generate a more sustainable society.”
