The power of community how Cuba survived peak oil

Morgan, Faith. (Added Author). Murphy, Eugene (Eugene R.) (Added Author). Quinn, Megan. (Added Author). Cromer, Bruce. (Added Author). Community Service, Inc. (Added Author).

Summary: "When Cuba lost access to Soviet oil in the early 1900s, the country faced an immediate crisis -- feeding the population -- and an ongoing challenge: how to create a new low-energy society. Cuba transitioned from large, fossil-fuel intensive farming to small, less energy-intensive organic farm and urban gardens, and from a highly industrial society to a more sustainable one." -- Container.
