Ed. Note: A reminder from Jill Robinson...

Climate change/peak oil film series resumes in walpole -- REALLY!

 The untimely nor'easter disrupted plans to screen "The Power of Community" on April 15th. Walpole Watches The News is optimistic that the weather will be more cooperative when we resume our first Sustainability Film Series this Sunday, April 29. 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. 

 The rescheduled April 29 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," originally scheduled for April 29, will be slid back to Sunday, May 6, 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.
