Yuri's Night Bay Area 2008 Eco-Initiatives
In 2007, Yuri's Night Bay Area helped make NASA's Ames Research Facility accessible to the general public for one of the first times in the facility's history. As part of our responsibility as co-caretakers of this amazing historical venue, our planet, and space beyond, it is imperative we begin here at home in setting an example for environmentally responsible behavior.
2008 will be Yuri's Night Bay Area's second year of alliance with EcoGatherings, a Bay Area green event consultancy group. Together we plan to implement innovative new strategies for greening Yuri's Night, as well as maintaining the fundamentals set in place last year. Stay Tuned for more information about YNBA 08 Eco-Initiatives.
