tickets for the 2007 burning man festival go on sale tomorrow - wednesday, january 17th, 2007 - at 10am. starting price for tickets is at a hefty $195 each, followed by a second tier at $225 each, and a third tier at $250 each. this years burning man theme is the green man, which seems to focus on humanity’s relationship to nature as well as put a green, eco-friendly face (and also marketing spin, depending on how you look at it) on the event. gotta love the irony. one move to make burning man ‘green’ and also appeal to current and new environmentally conscious ticket buyers comes from coolingman - a project aimed at offsetting greenhouse gases for the festival’s activities. more info and links on going carbon neutral can be found on wikipedia. personally i look at this type of carbon trading as a way of allowing groups and individuals to continue with their current rate of consumption without any actual reduction in activities that cause pollution. it’s a bit like conservation through consumerism, where greater luxuries, consumption, and pollution can be rationalized and permitted by simply throwing money at it’s ecological impact through buying carbon credits. it’s convenient like a credit card, but it doesn’t raise eco-consciousness. anyway, what was i talking about? oh yeah, that big eco-fest party in the desert - burning man.
