2007 The Green Man ~ Solar Death Ray 3000
Height of Man: 40 feet standing on a 32-foot tall Green Man Pavilion resembling mountains and rolling hills, containing 30,000 square feet of exhibition space, combining art, earth sciences and technological innovation.
Location: Black Rock Desert, Nevada
Participants: Saturday (September 1, 2007): 47,097
Theme: The Green Man
In 2007, Burning Man had an art theme that proved to be as life-altering as it was inspiring. The Green Man ideal truly became part and parcel of the Burning Man Project's core, effectively overhauling how the organization functions, the infrastructure of the event, and the day-to-day lives of the staff … not bad for an art theme. Though we'd made efforts at the departmental level for years, Burning Man's entire year-round operations went "green" in earnest, wherein the staff upped recycling and composting efforts, and thoroughly re-thought and reduced the environmental impact of Burning Man's headquarters. On-playa operations also saw dramatic changes, including running the event's generators on bio-diesel, and powering the Man Pavilion and the Man's neon with a massive solar array (the panels from which would ultimately be donated to and installed for the Gerlach School and Pershing County Hospital).
Black Rock City was made up of far more participants than ever - 47,097 people living in over 1,431 camps, occupying 37,500,000 square feet of camping space (20% more than in 2006) - who were drawn to this incredible experience in the desert, and spurred by a theme that gave voice to a paradigm shift that desperately needed to be examined. That voice was expressed through the science, art and creative expression of tens of thousands of participants seeking change in how we relate to the natural environment. The Alternative Energy Zone (AEZ) showcased the Solar Death Ray 3000, a carbon free mutant vehicle created for community cooking with the power of 25,000 btu's of concentrated solar power.
