LA Post Carbon presents The END of SUBURBIA Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream Sunday, November 28th, 7:00 PM FREE Documentary screening, 78 minutes
In an excerpt from The END of SUBURBIA Richard Heinberg warns, "Cheap oil is the party that we have been enjoying the past 150 years and that party is coming to an end. Within our lifetimes were going to see the end of the age of oil, and the result of that will be the end of the American way of life" .
Throop Memorial Church 300 S. Los Robles Ave. Pasadena, CA 91101
To be followed by a discussion about things we can do in our community in response to the coming decline in oil production.
As energy prices skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream? Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow? And what can be done NOW, individually and collectively, to avoid The End of Suburbia? http://www.endofsuburbia.com "Despite all the warnings that we are headed for an ecological and environmental perfect storm, many Americans are oblivious to the flashing red light on the earth's fuel gauge." - Thomas Wheeler - In a review of The END of SUBURBIA
