With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, "The End of Suburbia":http://www.endofsuburbia.com explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. World Oil Peak and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels are upon us now, some scientists and policy makers argue in this documentary.

The consequences of inaction in the face of this global crisis are enormous. What does Oil Peak mean for North America? 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 ?

_PS: Come to the potluck - it's good food, good talk, good fun! Bring a dish if you can, we have plates, silverware & chairs. The film is shown with a projector on a large screen, and we will have a discussion following the screening._
