As family and I have been driving through the Nevada desert today, I’ve been thinking of Burning Man. Next year’s theme is The Green Man. THE GREEN MAN. I am so there.

Not only will this verdant force of nature be the theme of Burning Man, but the community of Black Rock City is asked to offset the carbon footprint of travel, power generation, and expressive burning. A handy calculator helps with this.

• Burners without Borders will participate in this focus.

With the announcement of next year’s theme for Burning Man–The Green Man–expect to hear about lots of BWB projects focused on environmental/sustainable communities in the coming year.

• Cooling Man offsets greenhouse gas emissions and cools it forward.
