As part of UCLA's Eart Day events, the UCLA Sustainable Resource Center is proud to cosponsor a screening of:
End of Suburbia
Oil Depletion and the American Dream
This provocative documentary, a regular on the film-festival circuit, examines the history of suburban life and the wisdom of this distinctly American way of life. A post-World War II concept, suburbia attracted droves of people, giving rise to sprawl and all that comes with it -- good and bad. How has the environment been affected by this lifestyle, and is it sustainable? Canadian director Gregory Greene dares to ask all the tough questions.
