Highlights

The 2007 festival ran from October 12 - October 14. The festival included many environment-friendly practices including recycling containers throughout the festival, the use of corn-based plastic drink cups, the use of solar energy, the purchase of renewable energy to offset emissions generated from the use of electricity at the festival and other activities including work exchange programs and donating a portion of proceeds to Trees For The Future. Visitors to the festival were also given the option to purchase a "green" ticket which carried with it 500 kWh of renewable energy to offset the environmental impact of approximately 682 pounds of CO2.
