Our energy initiatives this year include:

• Biodiesel generators providing power for the stages and vending areas

• A large solar array to help power the event and feed electricity back into the grid

• Energy efficient lighting

• Renewable energy art installations

Our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction efforts in 2008 diverted 8.4 metric tons of GHGs from entering the atmosphere (the equivalent of about 1100 gallons of gasoline).

20% of diverted GHGs were a direct result of renewable energy efforts on site, including use of biodiesel fuel, production of solar energy, and use of energy efficient lighting.
