The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil - YouTube

The project launched in Havana is truly inspirational. having lived in Miami, born and raised, around lots of cubans, it was common to see even the smallest back yard growing papaya, yucca, tomatoes, limes and more. The Cubans are very resourceful people which comes from living on an island and in a poor country. I lived in the everglades on 18 acres and there was a cuban family close by. they raised hens, goats, pigs and more. I loved these people so much and they loved me. I learned a lot from them.

I have beating drums lately trying to motivate Occupy protesters to occupy farms and empty lots to begin a food growing revolution. If Cuba can do it so can we.
