As part of the First Unitarian Church of Portland's Community for Earth Film Series, they are showing the movie "Crude Awakening". OilCrash, produced and directed by award-winning European journalists and filmmakers Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack, tells the story of how our civilization’s addiction to oil puts it on a collision course with geology. Compelling, intelligent, and highly entertaining, the film visits with the world’s top experts and comes to a startling, but logical conclusion – our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled. | ||

As food prices soar, salmonella stalks the supermarket, and fresh and local claim their place at the table, city dwellers are getting back to the land by opening their back doors. With visions of Victory Gardens and sugar snap peas in their heads, urbanites are rediscovering how to turn their lawns and landscapes into larders. | ||

King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat—and how we farm. | ||

7:05pm Jeremy O'Leary, Portland Peak Oil Jeremy O’Leary, an organizer with Portland Peak Oil, will talk about the process that led to the creation of the City of Portland’s Peak Oil Taskforce and the ongoing efforts to integrate peak oil mitigation into local government. Basically there are 500 number one priorities to do and the odds are pretty good you are going to be handy with a few of them. The additional good news is that as individuals and small groups, most of the things we need to do to mitigate the effect of global weirding and peak oil will also re-localize the food supply, reduce our energy needs, create urban habitat, and improve both emergency response and our general quality of life. | ||
