ECO LANDS POWERED BY YOU

Eco Lands, an interactive conservation happening in Speedway Meadow, is back and greener than ever. Following last year's efforts we are beefing up the solar stage, implementing more alternative energy, increasing the size of the farmer's market, working toward a higher waste diversion rate and achieving carbon neutrality through PG&E's ClimateSmart program. Also in Eco Lands you can refill your water bottle, chat with our non-profit partners, charge your cell phone off of solar power, trade cups or bottles at the recycling store, bid on rock posters at the silent auction or attend environmental talks. And look out for Whole Foods serving up natural treats, our friends at Lifeway sampling their probiotic kefirs, and Toyota's 3rd Generation Hybrid at the Prius Spot.

To keep you engaged with our environmental initiatives, the OSL Passport program will be in full effect giving you the chance to win watching Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band or Tenacious D from the soundboard. Pick up your passport at the Eco Lands Info Booth and get stamps for biking or taking MUNI to the festival, recycling your old cell phone, registering to vote, volunteering with PG&E and more. Take action and get involved!

VOLUNTEER WITH PG&E AT OUTSIDE LANDS

There's a reason it's called manpower. Volunteering... the most renewable kind of energy there is. PG&E and its employees have given almost 22,000 hours of their own time back to California communities, and so can you. Visit us at the PG&E tent in Eco Lands to learn how you can build a solar home with Habitat for Humanity, restore the environment with California State Parks Foundation, help preserve San Francisco's treasured parks with the Neighborhood Parks Council, and more. Not sure where to get started? California Volunteers will be on site and can help connect you to opportunities in your community and across the state. While you are in Eco Lands doing your part for mankind, see what solar can do for the planet. PG&E will be powering the area on clean solar power, including solar cell phone charging stations. The music is no exception, with the Panhandle Stage running on 100% clean solar energy due to the help of PG&E and partners.

And whether you catch a solar show or sign up to volunteer, you can still feel better knowing the entire festival will be made carbon neutral through an innovative partnership with the PG&E ClimateSmart program. To learn more about balancing out your own energy use, visit www.joinclimatesmart.com. Together we can create the solutions needed to address our biggest energy challenges.

Outside Lands Ocean Beach Clean Up with SF Surfrider and Save The Waves

Outside Lands, SF Surfrider and Save The Waves team up to go for the largest, most rockin’ San Francisco beach cleanup ever!

Please join us Saturday, August 29th and Sunday, August 30th from 10am-12pm at stairwell 17 to clean Ocean Beach!  It’s along the Great Highway between Fulton and Lincoln in San Francisco in front of the Beach Chalet.

Musicians, artists, surfers, environmentalists, and ocean lovers are invited to join us across from Golden Gate Park to clean up trash on Ocean Beach and celebrate the Outside Lands Festival's mission of a cleaner, greener existence. Ocean Beach is one of the favorite spots for Bay Area surfers and beach goers alike. Due to its proximity to Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach will likely feel the impact of concert-goers throughout the festival weekend. It is up to us to minimize this impact, and spare the beach and the ocean of the waste that would otherwise remain forever.

Bring yourself, a friend and your own water bottle (water will be provided, but not bottles) and help us make Ocean Beach safe, clean and green throughout Outside Lands weekend. All other supplies will be provided.  Thanks for helping out!

For more information, visit www.sfsurfrider.org, or www.savethewaves.org.
