"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."
