LOS ANGELES DECOMPRESSION 2006 – Going Green!!
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14TH.
LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN LA ON 1ST STREET, UNDER THE 1ST STREET BRIDGE.
HTTP://WWW.LA-BURNINGMAN.COM

With the 2007 Burning Man theme being "the Green Man", We are leaning toward a more conscious event due to the fact that humanity's ecological footprint has exceeded global bio-capacity, in other words natures capital is being spent faster than it can regenerate itself.

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 ☺  Go to our website, and under going green we have public transit options, including biking and directions for you.

Efficient lighting - Resource: Angstrom Lighting for LED's.
