WindDance will be a freaky, funky, dance-till-u-drop, weekend-long campout, @ the Woodlands in Mendocino.
Presented by eCo-sound-systems-productions (+ friends), and hopefully (if everything works out logistically and financially)...
full of great music and funky people like I and I, U, and So, and the rest of this crazy state we call 'Cali' !
It is based on the many festivals that I go to...Raindance (2x)...Earthdance (2x)...ROTR (9x) ......Sierra Nevada World Music Fest....the REAL GOODS PARTY, and the many other camps that already go on @ the woodlands.
EXCEPT THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT... in that it will be organised by someone w/ a degree in FORESTRY & NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT and a focus in SUSTAINABLE DESIGN) !!!
MY intention is to:
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE...COMPOST, and then RECYCLE some more !
use solar powar (where feasible...near the north coast) !
alt. fuels (e.g. biodiesel) !
Minimize cars, parking, traffic, air pollution, water pollution (through runoff/erosion and leaky vehicles) !
Encourage the sharing of ideas, art, and music, through shows, speeches, forums, &/or workshops!
Provide food and crafts from the many local companies that are doing wonderful things in the area (e.g. Mendo Mate, Thanksgiving Coffee, the Twist in Mendo [all online]).!
Feed people orgaincally, from small local suppliers, w/ the delicasies of Good Thyme Herb Co. and Catering (see online)
NOTE: needs a minimum # of ppl. committed. !
Donate a portion of the PROFIT to the Mendocino Woodlands volunteer and environmental education programs &/or road/camp improvement and erosion control projects !
Mitigate (a fancy word for reduce/eliminate) environmental impacts!
In short, make this a 'Leave No Trace Event' (see online),
I hope you all can dig it, and would appreciate any comments or contacts that you may have.
DISCLAIMER : ) As this is quickly becoming overwhelming for just 1lover, I would ask you all to get involved and start spreading the word. Please refer solid contacts directly to me, as opposed to sending me info that I must go & research.
Blessings & 1Love
