Lessons From The Cuban Energy Revolution With Mario Alberto Arrasta
Avila <https://www.facebook.com/events/480188858789610/?ref=51&source=1>
What can we learn from Cuba? When nearly 70% of Cuba's oil supply
stopped in 1989 after the USSR collapsed, transportation, electricity,
and food production were jeopardized. Cuba responded by shifting to
widespread use of renewables and permaculture-based agriculture systems,
making the country a world leader in sustainable development.
Join us in welcoming Cuba's leading Energy Efficiency and Renewables
educator, Mario Alberto Arrastía Avila. Mario is responsible for the
development and delivery of energy education at all levels in Cuba, and
is a passionate and engaging speaker.
Come along to hear about Cuba's "Energy Revolution" and what
Massachusetts can learn from it.
