SUMMARY:The Great Squeeze and Transition to a Lower Energy Future
DESCRIPTION:Come out and see the popular new documentary The Great Squ
 eeze followed by the presentation Transition to a Lower Energy Future 
 by Tom Anderson of Transition Whatcom on Wednesday, April 22, at 6:30 
 PM in the Fairhaven College Auditorium. Transition Whatcom is a newly 
 formed local initiative that is following the popular Transition model
 , which originated in the town of Totnes in the UK only a few years ag
 o, and has since spread around the world. A Transition Initiative is a
  community working together to address peak oil and climate change and
  address the big question: for all those aspects of life that this com
 munity needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we signific
 antly increase resilience (to mitigate the effects of Peak Oil) and dr
 astically reduce carbon emissions (to mitigate the effects of Climate 
 Change)? Tom Anderson of the Transition Whatcom initiating group will 
 give a presentation about the Transition model and Transition Whatcom,
  along with some Q&A.\n\nAbout The Great Squeeze, from the film's webs
 ite:\n\n\"For some decades now people have been talking about saving t
 he planet, but we are realizing that this is not really the issue. The
  central issue is civilization itself and whether we can save it. The 
 stresses that we have put on the earth are not only threatening our ha
 bitat, but our way of life, our prosperity and even our existence on t
 he planet. Our current paradigm must change. We will have to accept th
 e new reality; the human economy is part of nature and not the other w
 ay around. We are faced with great challenges, but unlike the rest of 
 the living world, we have the unique ability to adapt and decide our f
 ate and the fate of most of the biosphere, for better or worse, in ord
 er to survive the human project.\n\nSelected at several film festivals
  around the world, The Great Squeeze features outstanding experts in m
 any fields, such as economist Lester Brown founder of The Earth Policy
  Institute and the Worldwatch Institute, Richard Heinberg world renown
 ed Peak Oil expert, Edward O. Wilson legendary biologist, Alexandra Co
 usteau leading advocate for marine ecosystems, author Howard Kunstler,
  paleoclimatologist Jim White and many more.\"\n\nThe event is sponsor
 ed by the Associated Students Outback.\n\n\n\nFor more information vis
