Protecting the earth for live beings to be in, Abolition 2000 and Rainforest Action volunteers hand out pamphlets in the lobby. Paper leaflets and live people link Be-In happeners with life-threatening currents in the world, and of course, give out their URLs.

"The National Ignition Facility will spend $40 billion over the next 10 years on the next generation of nuclear technology," says Robert Manning of Abolition 2000. "We plan to inundate officials with a constant stream of protest in six languages by getting computer-literate people to link us to as many sites as possible. We believe we can stop all nuclear testing by the year 2000."

"Technology tricks us," says self-proclaimed Luddite Matt Fottler, three-year veteran Rain Forest Action volunteer. "Our reliance on comforts accelerates the distance between humans interacting on the planet. This event brings us together."

They remind us that the original Be In was about consciousness and conscience.
