LIB’s Green Mission is to create an event where participants can have amazing and fulfilling experiences whilst remaining fully conscious of the natural environment and their effect upon it. This mission requires organizational assessment of the various aspects of LIB’s natural impact. Concerning actual festival infrastructure, LIB will make liberal use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind for power, radically reduce waste through the use of recyclable and reusable products, and offer healthy, locally produced, organic food and drink options. Furthermore, LIB will act as an educational forum in regards to the ecologically friendly and sustainable choices we can all make in our lives. Through these workshops and seminars we hope to inspire our community, the public, and similar events to adopt practices that will make a positive difference for the planet. Ultimately it is our belief that this Green Mission will enhance the circumstances in which we celebrate life, have fun, and share our greatest experiences together.

Upon celebrating its 7th year, Lightning in a Bottle will be an inspiring and comprehensive festival without producing the large amount of waste associated with similar events of its scale.  Held for the second time amidst the 50-acre ‘Live Oak’ campground, LIB’s sustainable approach will ensure the wellness of these  beautiful surroundings for many years to come. 

Each year has provided an educational and evolutionary experience for LIB’s organizers, and we are very excited about our initiatives for 2007.  We encourage you to actively participate and support these sustainable practices and help keep the campground beautiful by taking the time to properly use the recycling and compost receptacles, taking your non-recyclable waste with you when you leave, avoid dropping litter around the site, and ensuring your camping area is tidy when you leave. This is partying with a true leave-no-trace mentality.  We also hope you take advantage of the programs we have put in place for you such as car share, emissions offsetting, and educational workshops.

Feel free to check out further details on these initiatives in each of our event categories as well as further information on how you can make a positive difference for our planet.
