Climate change/peak oil film series resumes in Walpole

Come See The Movie Someone Wants You To Miss!

    Walpole Watches The News resumes its first Sustainability Film Series on Sunday, April 15 at 4:00 pm.  The series, "Climate Change/Peak Oil: Problems and Solutions," concludes with two films focusing on positive solutions to these pressing problems. "Peak Oil" refers to the theory that world oil production has, or will soon, reach a peak and then rapidly decline.

    Oddly enough, every time we post a flyer for this at the Post Office, someone takes it down! We hope you'll thwart our censor friend's wishes and turn out in big numbers to see these films.

    The April 15 film, "The Power Of Community," shows how Cuba survived Peak Oil when it suddenly lost its oil supplies in the early '90s. The last film in this first series, "KilowattOurs," will be shown on Sunday, April 29, 2007.  It takes an in depth look at the true cost of electricity and suggests ways we can reduce our use of it and save up to $600 per year. Both films will be shown at the Walpole Congregational Church from 4 pm to 6 pm. All the public is invited to attend, and admission is free (though donations to help pay for the films will be accepted). Child care will be available if parents make reservations in advance by calling Jill at 756-9073 or Sue at 756-9268 or by emailing walpolewatches@gmail.com.

    The series launched last month with a Climate Change Workshop presented by Tom Sintros of Alstead, and a screening of the Peak Oil film, "The End of Suburbia."  

    Organizers of the Sustainability Film Series hope to foster greater awareness of the looming danger presented by global warming and peak oil, and to suggest that these problems, no matter how grave and how urgent, may have solutions if we each act now.

    For more information call Jill at 756-9073 or Sue at 756-9268 or email walpolewatches@gmail.com.
