******************************* |
The IDF Human Rights Film Series is celebrating Earth day with the documentary END OF SUBURBIA, by Gregory Greene. See below for more information!
END OF SUBURBIA: Thursday, April 21st, from 7-9pm @ IDF
END OF SUBURBIA is a wake up call to western society about the real ramifications of peak oil production and consumption. Greene interviews a number of energy experts, including Oil industry insider, Matthew Simmons, CEO of the world’s largest energy investment bank, Simmons and Co. International, to find out just what we might expect as we reach peak production of the West’s most relied upon energy resource. What will come of our way of life when cheap oil is no longer available? Greene examines how the end of cheap oil will affect not only our transportation and electricity needs, but also access to inexpensive goods and services, food production and to the economy. Dr. David N. Ruzic, professor of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering 101: Introduction to Energy Sources will join us to discuss energy alternatives and to facilitate the discussion following the film. This event is free and open to the public.
The Human Rights Film series is cosponsored by: 85% Coalition, Activist Forum, Amnesty International #124, Anti-War Anti-Racism Effort (AWARE), Campus Greens, Channing-Murray Foundation, Common Ground Food Cooperative, El Centro por los Trabajadores, Feminist Majority, McKinley Foundation, Progressive Resource/Action Cooperative (PRC), South Asian Collective, St. Patrick’s Catholic Church Social Action Committee, UC Friends Peace and Service Committee, UC-IMC Steering Group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), and the Women’s Direct Action Collective (WDAC).
