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.
