How Cuba Survived Peak Oil" P4P Benefit Jun 6 NYC

When Cuba lost access to Soviet oil in the early 1990s, the country faced and immediate crisis � feeding the population � and an ongoing challenge: how to create a new low-energy society. Cuba transitioned from large, fossil-fuel intensive farming to small, less energy-intensive organic farms and urban gardens, and from a highly industrial society to a more sustainable one.

This film tells the story 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 valuable example of how to successfully address the challenge of reducing our energy use.
