To help support Burning Man 2007: The Green Man, and make Black Rock City the first 'carbon-neutral' city in the world, Cooling Man needs more hearts and hands. Please let us know if you'd like to help with this. Work on a project to indicate global warming- equivalent to one Christmas light per square meter across the planet 1 s mile of Christmas lights-in a ball that show heat. 1500 lights- (number I got) –check with Jeff Cole and see- Right now he needs help to-make a globe- it is a square meter heat project-

Our board members are into it, one even is researching more including mushroom composting and more- all loosing at this being a stream of revenue and decrease coast of hauling food waste away as trash. Goal: this can be an addition income stream, or can be a giant labyrinth. The neighboring ranch sometimes uses human waste.
7.Workshops and Coordination
Host workshops and/or coordinate the workshops before the burn and on-playa. You can do this anywhere... if you are in San Francisco you can use the Burning Man headquarters. If you live somewhere else we can help connect you to your regional rep.

Coordinating logistics and people with ideas to make the workshops happen.
