LUGOD at the 2004 Whole Earth Festival

LUGOD had a booth at the 2004 Whole Earth Festival at UC Davis. The Fesitval took place from Friday, May 7th through Sunday, May 9th, and was held outdoors, at the UC Davis Quad.

WEF is "an annual student run event that brings over 30,000 people together to discover and celebrate sustainable and conscious living on Planet Earth."
