The Watershed Project is an environmental solution for Burning Seed 2016
The by burners for burners, not for profit Watershed Inc. comprises a willing coalition of Burner theme camps on a mission to mutually distribute theme camp quality water, at the lowest feasible pricing.
The target is delivery of over 18 tons of quality water, assisting our theme camps greatly to gift more water, tweak our budgets and maximise logistics efficiency, thus bringing more arts to the paddock.
With stronger interest from other theme camps, funding is now required to buy the water container infrastructure, without funding the Watershed may have to limit further memberships and have less impact.
WATERSHED
ˈwɔːtəʃɛd
noun
1.
an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basins, or seas.
2.
an event or period marking a turning point in a situation.
Fundamentally the Watershed aims to address the ten burning principles by representing a logical Communal Effort and highlighting some of the benefits of teamwork without Commercial Gain being a consideration.
- Decreasing Carbon Emissions from mass water cartage
- Minimising Waste Packaging from crowd sourced theme camp water containers
- Creating more valuable cargo space for Theme Arts
- Saving money on Transport Fuel
- Sharing funds with local community
- Supporting the prevalence of drinking water and nautical activities.
The Watershed is owned by the member theme camps, the members are currently Splash, Sunset Island, Trash Mansion, Dirty Birds, Detox, Casbah and The Brink. The Watershed will bring a lot more drinking water into theme camps and also make a serious environmental impact
Please back the Watershed in making your Burning Seed experience healthy, happy and huge.
I'd buy that for a dollar. Make it rain homies! If this project raises more than $1000 thats a great investment in Burning Seed. We are seeking to average only around 25 cents per burner...
