FILM | The End of Suburbia Screening
A documentary that examines the effect of declining oil supplies and the North American lifestyle that is over-reliant on fossil fuels, The End of Suburbia (2004) will be screened tonight at the National Film Board's Ontario Centre. The film focuses on World Oil Peak--reaching the point of exhaustion of the world's fossil fuel supply--and the likelihood that this event will cause the death of the suburbs. Director Greg Greene will be present to discuss the film and its ability to change human consumption patterns, including the influence that The End of Suburbia has had on the Transition Movement, which seeks to help towns become independently sustainable.
