Collapse, the National Geographic movie, looks 200 years into the future, based on author Jared Diamond's book "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed," in order to examine how current habits might affect humans' ability to survive. This documentary examines how relationships among current methods could lead to human extinction. Shortages of land, water, and energy could potentially propel civilization to collapse; choices such as sustainable, local farming and organic practices are highlighted as ways to ensure life on Earth continues. To understand a sudden collapse, imagine it has already happened, National Geographic reveals a vivid look into the future to our descendants in the year 2310 as they set out on a scientific expedition to figure out what brought us down. The registration deadline for the program is March 23, 2011. For more information or to register please call the Agroforestry Resource Center at (518)622-9820.
