Transition Towns Kapiti invites you to a film night : A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash

The story of how our civilization’s addiction to oil puts it on a collision course with geology. Compelling, intelligent, and highly entertaining, the film visits with the world’s top experts and comes to a startling, but logical conclusion – our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled.

When: Monday 28th July, 7.00pm
Where: Kapiti Community Centre
15 Ngahina Street
Paraparaumu
