Energy FACTory’s Sweatshop MixerSpin Your Set At Coachella With A Little Help From Your FriendsEver dreamed about Djing at the Coachella Music & Art Festival? Here’s your chance for the resume builder of a lifetime. First there’s a catch! With great opportunity, comes great sacrifice. You cannot perform on your own. You’ll need at least 12 friends to power all your equipment. Your friends will be running on hamster wheels, riding bikes, turning hand cranks, riding seesaws among other things to power your turntables and sound system. Secondly, there’s limited timeslots so all DJ’s confirmed will need to put down a $50 deposit. If you arrive on time and perform your DJ set powered 100% by friends or family or people you meet at the camp grounds.....you’ll receive a 100% refund plus a cool Sweatshop Mixer t-shirt that is of course sweatshop free.. Lastly, you cannot suck. Send us your website so we can listen to your set. Coachella will curate the music hard drive so you’re getting the best of the best to spin. Set times during Coachella are 30 mins. If you’re friends are in great condition and you’re ruling the decks....this time period can be extended. Email – sweatshopMIXER@globalinheritance.org for more information and submit yourself. The Sweatshop is a massive undertaking so if you’re an electrician, engineer, electrical engineers, energy experts, designer, web programmers, architect, movers, mathematician, trucker or the second coming of macgyver...send us an email if you want to lend a hand – coachella@globalinheritance.org. If you are interested in donating your time to volunteer for Global Inheritance during Coachella/Stagecoach festivals but are more skilled as an educator or great communicator, feel free to send us an email with your resume. |

Powered by wind, solar, biodiesel, ethanol, and liquid petroleum gas, these carts showed the crowd a few different ways to cruise and view alternative energy sources. View the whole collection.

RECYCLED PAPER PLANE TOSSAlthough we haven't flown paper planes since college, we decided to put our flying skills to the test with Recycled Paper Plane Shoot Out. By reusing paper products found within the venue, festival attendees were able to engineer flying apparatuses and test their aim on a bull shaped bullseye to win prizes. Everyday featured championship rounds with the grand prize winner receiving the chance to get down with MIA on stage. Check out the highlights :: CLICK HERE |

| 45 ft. Tall Wind Powered Clock Tower! Global Inheritance brought you the Energy FACTory featuring cell phone charging bikes, solar powered misters, live screen printing, car conversation, ethanol cooked popcorn, and much more, anchored by a 45 ft. tall wind powered clock stationed at the main entrance as you walked into the festival. It was an easy target. Solar Power/Mannequin Exhibit: Solar energy will be represented in an art exhibit that merges music and mannequins. Tour de Coachella: Cell phone charging bikes with misting fans. As people pedaled the bikes, the energy created transferred into a fan, thus making the blades spin and providing a much needed cool down for festival goers and their friends. Vegetable Oil to Biodiesel Conversion: This biodiesel exhibit included informational demos and discussions about the pros and cons of producing and using biodiesel to fuel cars and other fossil fuel-guzzling items. A live conversion of 50 gallons of vegetable oil into biodiesel also occured during the course of the weekend. Ethanol Popcorn-Cooking Tree: Jiffy Pop popcorn was cooked using ethanol. If you were lazy, we even cooked it for you. Eco-Friendly Poster/Shirt Screen Printing: allowed festival goers to learn more about the world of sustainable fashion. Original artwork and designs were printed onto shirts made of bamboo and organic cotton. Solar Powered DJ Station: Apollo was proud. Enough said. |

WATER PROGRAM |

| In an effort to drastically reduce waste we are re-launching a filtered water program at Coachella in 2010.
Our mission is to cut back on the amount of plastic water bottles sold at the show. Purchase a Souvenir Coachella container - receive free cold filtered water all weekend at the water program filling stations. There are refill locations located inside the venue & event areas. You can purchase containers at each of these locations along with at the merchandise tent and the general store in camping. Please see the map for locations or ask a festival staff member. *please note, you may not leave a beer garden or any bar area with a full container. So fill up after you leave that area. |
