TreeHugger Radio: The Greening of Burning Man
by Team Treehugger, Worldwide on 05.25.07
For one week each year, Black Rock City becomes the tenth largest city in Nevada. The massive fully-interactive arts festival that is Burning Man attracts people from around the world to experience a temporary intentional community in the heat of the desert, and this year’s theme is eco-effectiveness. In this extended interview, Meaghan O’Neill talks with Burning Man’s Environmental Manager Tom Price about green tech on the playa, Burners Without Borders, and Black Rock City as a sustainable microcosm.

This is great! I had disdain in Burning Man only because it generated such a tremendous amount of waste, so this is good news. Oh, and there was the one year that some people got mad at my group for sitting around and drinking boxed wine. I wasn't sure if they were mad that we were drinking or if it was because it was 'boxed' wine. Anyway, this is good news.
wow i have ever seen something this WEIRD!
