  When Cuba lost access to Soviet oil in the early 1990s, the country faced an immediate crisis – feeding the population – and an ongoing challenge: how to create a new low-energy society. This film tells the story of the Cuban people's hardship, ingenuity, and triumph over sudden adversity – through cooperation, conservation, and community.
  "Everyone concerned about Peak Oil should see this film." Richard Heinberg.

Past Events

Tioga Peace and Justice would like to thank the four county legislators who participated in the citizens' forum we held on October 21st in Owego: Legislators Richard Huttleston of District 1, Donald Burns & George Penney of District 4, and Dale Weston of District 6. We also thank all those who took the time to attend and who shared their views.

We hope that the cordial and conversational tone of this recent forum will encourage County officials and candidates running for office to participate in such future events.
