Carpooling
The Symposium & Festival is a zero wate event,
meaning among other things that we create as little
garbage and greenhouse gas emissions as possible (and that these are offset through purchases of renewable energy units).
Thus we highly encourage you to either travel by
bicycle, mass transit, or if you do use a car, you
carpool with others.
Are
you looking for a ride? Can you offer a ride? We
are offering a service that will pair up those seeking
with
those offering. Carpool
