We committed to be carbon-negative by 2030. How will we do it? Can we even do it? We have “Burning” right in our name.When it comes to solar, biofuels, and energy banks, we have many irons in the fire, or rather, we are planting many seeds. Hear how Black Rock City is a hotbed, or rather, a garden bed, for the innovation of clean energy — community-led and industry-influencing clean energy.Stuart talks with George B Reed III, Associate Director of Burning Man Project’s Off Fossil Fuels program about the progress we’re making for a brighter future, or rather... yeah, a brighter future.George shares what Burning Man’s leadership has been developing to be in integrity with our principles and goals, from composting organic waste for food cultivation, to making renewable diesel from captured carbon. He shares stories of the community preventing and reversing damage to the climate. Hear how we’re collectively rewiring reality, showing our work, and sharing what we know. Here’s how you can do it for your camp, your cohort, your city.Burning Man Project: 2030 Environmental Sustainability Roadmapburningman.org: About Us / Sustainability (updated Oct 2023) The Renewables for Artists TeamThe Green Theme Camp Community & BLASTBurning Man Journal: Your Checklist for LNT in BRC (2023)Burning Man Journal: Waking Dreams: Evoking Greener Burns (2022)Burning Man Journal: Sustainability Initiatives on the Road to Black Rock City (2022)
