el lay decomWELCOME HOME! The thrill of the playa rises again, this time on the streets of Los Angeles.
This is an annual event to bring the spirit of Burning Man alive in our community.

With the 2007 Burning Man theme being “the Green Man”, We are leaning toward a more conscious event. Expect incredible art work, beautiful art cars, and delightful music - with as much diversity as burners can provide. We’d like to remind you to please CONSERVE and CONSUME LESS for this event! It’s not necessary to use or waste resources such as inefficient lighting just to have fun with us ☺

Workshops will be from 3pm-9pm.
These are the topics we will be exploring:
Organic Architecture and Green Technologies (Geofry Collins)
A Panel Discussion on Sustainable living techniques in an Urban Environment (Sustainable LA, Santa Monica Sustainable Works, Green Drinks, Geoff)
Conscious Consumerism (Cater Green)
Permaculture (Joan)
Solar energy (EE solar)
Bio-diesel and veggie oil (Clean Fuel Caravan and Kalib)
Cob and permaculture within Burning Man (Ray Cirino)
Greening Burning Man/ Recycle Camp (Blue)
Eco Villages
