Burn Clean Project: May ’06 Update
• Biodiesel Generators: Burning Man organization is looking to place biodiesel-fueled generators from Kohler Power Supply at the Greeter’s Station, the Café, the Staff Commissary, and the Man itself. All of these locations are highly visible to the participants and staff. Yay!!! We are still waiting for the final decision and contracts to be signed, but things are looking good.
• Burncleanproject.org : Yes, that’s right, our own Ryan Wartena took the initiative, secured the site, and jumpstarted the design of our website. The website is a work in progress which currently contains a lot of useful links for green energy use on the way to and while at Burning Man. Biofuel, wind, solar, etc. Katrina Kachina has asked us to have the BCP site also act the temporary home to all the content for Greening the Burn, which will eventually have its own domain. Under the Greening the Burn heading, folks will be able to find information about all the aspects of sustainability for BM beyond energy, such as: recycling, water management, Sustainability Tours, etc, etc, etc. If you would like to contribute information and/or links for the site please submit it at connect@burncleanproject.org . If it is right for the site, we will put it on.
• BCP Artcar: the amazing Nate aka Gustavo found us through Tribe and has volunteered his new creation, the Bio-Bedouin RV, to be sponsored by Burn Clean Project. This mobile Bedouin tent will be hung with BCP banners. Nate has also volunteered himself to do on-playa education for other artcar participants on biodiesel how-to from engine conversions to making your own fuel. He has suggested handing out biofuel recipe cards and also mixing biofuel on site to demonstrate how easy it is: Nate says “If you can mix a cocktail, then you can make biodiesel.” Amen.
• Biodiesel Pedal Truck: Arrow, part of the Burn Clean Volunteer Collective, is researching the feasibility of leasing a pedal truck (a fuel tanker that has a meter to pump from, i.e. portable gas station) to put on site at the Gerlach Texaco station. Onelove is researching how open the gas station owner is to selling allowing us to be on site for a small cut of each gallon sold. We will see.
• BCP Logo: We should have our logo up on the website by next week. BCVC member and award winning graphic designer Christian Calabro (growingstudio.com) is collaborating with rising contemporary artist Oliver Vernon (oliververnon.com) to create an accessible vibrant logo for Burn Clean. Let the branding begin!!! ^_^
• Biobus and Green Car Transportation: The next goal to tackle for BCP will be getting more burners to Black Rock leaving the smallest environmental footprint possible. This will be a combination of green car rideshare, bio-bus trip coordination, and education on the best possible modes of transport to the burn.
Questions for you, yes you who are reading this update (if you have answers, please send them to connect@burncleanproject.org):
1. Do you know the contact info and base locations for any and all biofueled bus owner/operators?
2. Do you know anyone is taking a green-fueled (ethanol, biodiesel, solar, hydrogen, hybrid, etc) personal vehicle to BM’06 and would be interested in being coordinated with riders?
3. Do you know anyone who runs an environmentally friendly printing company (for banners)?
4. Do you know anyone who is cool with Cecil Courtney, the Gerlach Texaco’s owner, or any other gas station owners in the surrounding area (Empire, etc.)?
5. Would you like to volunteer to accomplish a specific goal for Burn Clean Project? Build a BCP Wind or Solar Powered art piece, coordinate bioriders and drivers, do fuel research, write internet blogs encouraging burners to go green in ’06 and how-to, silkscreen T-shirts, etc. If you got the time and determination, we got the To-Do list that’ll make ya feel so good!!!
Much love to all of you. Write us, volunteer, tell your friends, DIY, make it happen, Burn Clean, Burn Green for our beautiful planet and for all of us!!!
