Showing... The End of Suburbia in LA this weekend

[Peak_Oil]

There are going to be a couple screenings of EOS this coming weekend. I'll paste most of the email I got on the subject. I hope this doesn't get canned as being spam, I'm posting this with the best of intentions. We don't often get a chance to see members of the Post Carbon Institute, Mike Ruppert from FTW, Greg Greene the director of EOS... This is a great opportunity to get together and DO SOMETHING about an event that has an incredible effect on our economy, our politics, our lives... please come out and support the canaries in the coalmines.

"Despite all the warnings that we are headed for an ecological and environmental perfect storm, many Americans are oblivious to the flashing red light on the earth's fuel gauge." - Thomas Wheeler - In a review of The END of SUBURBIA

"By being engaging, indeed amusing in places, The END of SUBURBIA will help to bring the issue to a much wider public" - Julian Darley, Founder of www.postcarbon.org.

"Cheap oil is the party that we have been enjoying the past 150 years and that party is coming to an end. Within our lifetimes were going to see the end of the age of oil, and the result of that will be the end of the American way of life" - Richard Heinberg - in an excerpt from The END of SUBURBIA
