A Crude Awakening - Wellington

Where: Newtown Community Centre, cnr Rintoul and Columbo Sts
When: 8th July, 7 pm - 9 pm

We're showing the documentary 'A Crude Awakening'. It's a lot like End of Suburbia, only better.

After the film there will be a short presentation of the 'Transition Towns solution', and a facilitated discussion.

From the back of the DVD: "Our civilisation's addiction to oil has put us on a collusion course with disaster. The idea that the world's oil supplies will soon peak is gaining mainstream currency; our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled.

Whilst hinting at just how dark the post-oil world could be, this highly entertaining yet disturbing expose provides not only questions but a glimmer of possible solutions to the most perplexing and important economic, environmental, and public policy issue of our time."
