    Rice University Environmental Club, Houston Tomorrow, Transition Houston, and the Emerging Professionals of the Houston USGBC, in partnership with Talento Bilingue de Houston present the Houston Green Film Series - The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil. Tuesday, July 12,  6:30pm - 9:00pm, at TBH Center.

    Cuba, an isolated island nation, rebuilt its quality of life following the collapse of cheap oil, supplied by the former Soviet Union. This fascinating and empowering film shows how communities pulled together, created solutions, and ultimately thrived in spite of their decreased dependence on imported energy.

    Following the movie, there will be an expert panel to discuss the implications of Peak Oil in a city like Houston. Panel members are:

    *Dr. Kyriacos Zygourakis (Rice University Department Chair)
    *Dr. Bob Randall (Urban Harvest Founder)
    *Jay Crossley (Houston Tomorrow Program Development and Research)
    *Dr. John Jacob (Texas Coastal Watershed Program Director)
