10KLF
"WE B Green" Program
The 10,000 Lakes
Festival is held at the beautiful Soo Pass Ranch, a 600+
acre nature and wildlife area nestled among dozens of lakes,
ponds, prairie and forest.
We consider ourselves stewards of this land and ask your
help in maintaining it. The grounds are used only 2 weeks
out of every year, allowing the abundant Minnesota plant
and wildlife to thrive here. Bald eagles, deer, turtles,
salamanders, fox and other rare animals call the Soo Pass
Ranch home. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
and other environmental agencies work hand in hand with 10KLF
to preserve the health and welfare of this area.
There are some simple steps you can take to help us maintain
this amazing place for years to come and reduce our impact
on Mother Earth.

WE
B Green is an audience friendly
recycling program aimed at reducing the amount of landfill
waste generated by events at the Soo Pass Ranch. Less
Trash – Better
Planet! When you arrive at the campgrounds you will be given
two plastic bags – a dark one
for your trash, and a
clear one for your recycling. This year
we are making recycling even easier with WE B Green recycling
stations in the campgrounds, at the gates, and in the concert
bowl. In addition, there will be curbside pick
up at your campsite for trash and recycling during and after
the event.
Thank you in advance for keeping your campsite and the grounds
clean and for keeping your trash and recycling bags separate
so we can recycle as much waste as possible.

Please Carpool! There is plenty
of room in the campgroounds. Save gas, money and carbon emissions
by using one car.
Please help us Be Green and keep your trash (especially
cigarette butts) and recycled items separated and deposit
them at the numerous 24-hour Greening Stations located
throughout the venue.
Greening tip brought to you by our partners at Clif
Bar:
Did you know that 40 percent of all U.S. urban travel
happens within 2 miles of where people live? Nearly all
of that travel is by car! Think about the amount of carbon
that is emitted from people firing up the car just to
run out for a loaf of bread or a cup of coffee. From
a company committed to protecting the places where we
love to play, Clif Bar is out to ask the question: what
if once a week people replaced a trip under 2 miles with
a bike instead? Once a week - pretty simple, right? Get
out of your car, get some fresh air, use your natural
energy and save some cash on gas - we call it the 2 Mile
Challenge. Bike once a week; fight climate change.
Check out the website www.2milechallenge.com
and create your own custom map to see your two mile radius
and take the challenge to help reduce your personal impact
on global warming. The 2 Mile Challenge bus will be at
the 10,000 Lakes Festival, offering tasty samples of
Clif Bars while educating folks about global warming
in this tricked-out vintage bus, running on 100% biodiesel.
