EndOil invited Great Leap, Inc. to Long Beach to create a performance about how living in this port city effects our health and well-being. THE AIR WE BREATHE was created through Great Leap’s Collaboratory workshop process, to show how our rich cultures – traditional and contemporary – can help us sustain, heal and move us towards our visions for future.http://www.greatleap.org/

EndOil reduces oil dependency and promotes energy alternatives by changing public policy and behavior in order to create a more healthful environment and combat climate change. http://www.endoil.org/
