The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil is a project of the Arthur Morgan Institute for Community Solutions.  This fascinating and empowering film shows how communities pulled together, created solutions, and ultimately thrived in spite of their decreased access to imported energy.

What is a Transition Initiative?

· It all starts off when a small collection of motivated individuals within a community come together with a shared concern: how can our community respond to the challenges, and opportunities, of Peak Oil, Climate Change, and increasingly, economic stagnation?

· The basic idea is:  if we collectively plan and act early enough there’s every likelihood that we can create a way of living that’s significantly more connected, more vibrant and more in touch with our environment.
