Description:

Our former camp lead and *NOW* returning Camp Hope member is leading a planetary initiative sending a sailing ship to the northernmost reachable point on the globe, where they will plant the Flag of Planet Earth in the last remaining arctic ice on September 21st, 2018 - the International Day of Peace. The Burning Man community has been a great support system in this effort, and together, we want to share a vision of humanity united under one flag. Now is the time for a cognitive shift toward an inclusive planetary identity, so Lindsay and Camp Hope will ask the Burning Man community members to participate in a campaign for the planet - taking on a new allegiance to mother nature, and recognizing an identity as a Citizen of Planet Earth alongside each of our unique collective identities. Lindsay and Camp Hope will raise the Flag of Planet Earth at the temple on Saturday at 2PM, mid-day, under the high sun. We will host a conversation following the event at Camp Hope HQ - our hexidome - at 3PM, where we can discuss pathways forward for renewable energy initiatives, new narratives, and a unique combined effort to bring a new symbol, identity, and story to the planet we call home.
