Burning Man cares deeply about the environment, and we take special care of the
Black Rock Desert, the home of Black Rock City. We do everything we can to
lessen our impact and Leave No Trace ... and we can't do that without the help
of every Burner on the playa.
Each year, Karina O'Connor and her crew of Earth Guardians compiles this
invaluable collection of tips, tricks and suggestions for Greening Your Burn.
It all starts with careful planning, carries on to your practices on playa,
then disposing of your trash and recycling after the event, and finishing up
with how you live your life back home, year round.
In addition to these tips and tricks, The Hun has written some suuuuper helpful
blog posts about how to optimize your Leave No Trace Efforts, including a list
of all the 24-hour trash and recycling drop-off locations you can hit as you
leave Black Rock City -- all part of the EXTRA program. Check them
out:http://blog.burningman.com/tag/trash/
Big ups to The Hun, and to Karina and the Earth Guardians! Please do pay them a
visit on playa (they're right on the Esplanade and easy to find), say hello,
and join them in their efforts to keep Burning Man the largest Leave No Trace
event in the world!
Remember: it all depends on YOU. Please share this information with each of
your campmates!

LEAVE NO TRACE, TREAD LIGHTLY & BE GREEN AT BURNING MAN
It takes thousands of participants to create and then remove our disappearing
city. What Can You Do? We have collected good ideas from participants, mixed in
Leave No Trace and Tread Lightly outdoor ethics, and now pass them along to
you. Not only will you reduce the Matter Out Of Place ("MOOP") in our
metropolis, and engage in our Leave No Trace (LNT) community, you'll contribute
to a better planet.
Here are our top ten LNT, Tread Lightly and Green reminders
1) ENGAGE IN OUR LNT COMMUNITY, INCREASE YOUR MOOP IQ, MAKE A MOOP BAG
2) PREPARE LEAVE NO TRACE & GREEN PLANS
3) RESPECT, RETHINK, REDUCE, REUSE, PRECYCLE, RECYLE AND RESTORE!
4) IF IT DOESN'T COME OUT OF YOUR BODY IT DOESN'T GO INTO THE POTTY.
5) CONSERVE ENERGY & USE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES (SOLAR, WIND, BIODIESEL)
6) NEVER LET IT HIT THE GROUND (INCLUDING GREY WATER, CIGARETTE BUTTS AND WOOD
CHIPS), CLEAN AS YOU GO! & SECURE ITEMS FROM THE WIND
7) INITIATE A COMMUNITY MOOP SWEEP! GRID YOUR AREA BEFORE YOU LEAVE
8) GIVE YOURSELF, NOT GIFTS THAT ARE LIKELY TO BECOME MOOP
9) PREPARE FOR THE HUNGRY WIND - SECURE YOUR CAMP & YOUR LOAD, ESPECIALLY YOUR
TRASH
10) VOLUNTEER FOR CLEAN UP WITH DPW & PARTICIPATE IN ECO-RESTORATION PROJECTS
YEAR ROUND!

WHAT IS A LNT COMMUNITY?
Did you know that Burning Man is the largest Leave No Trace event in the world?
Leaving No Trace in Black Rock City and Treading Lightly on the playa is
enormously significant - that's what protects this beautiful place and allows
us to return every year. By embracing these seven LNT principles, we have shown
that little things can, in fact, make a BIG difference. The Leave No Trace
Organization has more information on their website: www.lnt.org.
1.) Plan Ahead and Prepare
2.) Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
3). Dispose of Waste Properly
4.) Minimize Campfire Impacts
5.) Be Considerate of Other Visitors
6.) Leave What You Find
7.) Respect Wildlife
Tread Lightly Principles – 1) Travel Responsibly, 2) Respect Other Visitors 3)
Educate Yourself, 3) Avoid Sensitive Areas, 4) Do Your Part.
www.treadlightly.org
These principles are incorporated into our steps below to building a clean and
green Black Rock City!
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
EDUCATE YOURSELF
Start by reading the Survival Guide (http://survival.burningman.com/) and the
First Timer's Guide (http://www.burningman.com/first_timers/) to learn about
what you’re getting yourself into!
The Earth Guardians have also been collecting and recording LNT tips for playa
living. Visit their website at http://www.earthguardians.net, and check out
their new Plastic Footprint Project!
And for some eco-friendly Burner resources, check out
http://www.burningman.com/environment/
Then, start your camp’s planning by picking a Leave No Trace team for your camp
and develop LNT & Green plans. This team will help set up the camp so that it
doesn't blow away, is made of greener materials, is cleaned up and broken-down
ahead of time, uses less energy use and produces less waste (especially stinky
trash), properly disposes of grey water. If you plan ahead and prepare to LNT,
you'll have less to clean-up at the end of the week. Man-up and do your part!
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
CONSERVE ENERGY AND REDUCE THE USE OF FOSSIL FUELS
Reduce energy use by getting creative about ways to conserve. Incorporate
energy-efficient light bulbs, LEDs or EL wire. Use rechargeable batteries.
There are also many handy lights that come with their own solar cells.
Use renewable energy sources (human, solar, wind, biodiesel). The Alternative
Energy Zone (www.aez.org) has been living generator-free for many playa years!
If you must use a generator, consider biodiesel fuels instead of gasoline.
Visit Solar Koan on playa to check out their solar-based recharging station!
Coordinate with other participants to carpool - reduce your transportation
costs and impacts and make new friends even before you get to the playa! Share
transportation and energy generation with neighboring camps. Note that many
Regionals contacts also coordinate to ship different camps’ supplies to the
playa. Check with your local regional contact and test out the BM rideshare web
page:
http://rideshare.burningman.com
Get your car's maintenance done on a regular basis. A well-maintained car
produces lower emissions and will make it all the way to BRC (and back
again!!). Consider purchasing carbon credits to offset your transportation and
energy (generators) emissions. The www.Coolingman.org web site contains a handy
spreadsheet to calculate your carbon emissions.
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
RETHINK AND REDUCE WHAT WE PURCHASE AND BRING
How are you going to be sustainable at/to/from BRC in 2013? Consider the
materials being used, waste produced and energy consumed. What is your plastic
footprint?
Use Greener Materials. Use nontoxic, biodegradable, renewable and salvageable
materials, and those that can be reused or repurposed at home or at next year's
event. Select construction materials and decorations for your camp that are
recyclable or reusable. Do One Thing (DOT) to reduce your use of disposable
plastic! You'll reduce costs and disposal headaches at the end of the week and
for next year.
Be cognizant of your costuming. Some things that can be particularly
problematic (and should be used with the greatest of care, if at all) include
feathers, glitter, sequins, beads, bindis, body gems, glued-on stuff, fake
eyelashes, etc. Here's a page with a list of notoriously MOOPy items and
alternatives to using them: www.xxx.xxx.
Minimize kitchen waste and clean-up by planning simple, low- dishwashing meals,
repackaging and preparing food in advance. Bring less food than you think
you'll need (really). Repackage and prepare food in advance from you local
markets. Bring water in big reusable containers and bring reusable cups,
utensils, bowls or plates, not flimsy disposables. Ask visitors to your camp to
BYOM (bring your own mug) and take your own mug to the Center Camp Café and
fashionable bars. A carabiner or shower hook easily secures it for transport
around the City.
Separate and sort trash in your kitchen before you leave, including compost and
recycling. Once you're in the desert, collect food waste in a mesh bag. The
food will dry up, becoming light and nearly odorless. Burn paper and wood in a
community burn platform. Here's food wisdom from a decade on the playa:
http://bit.ly/1097WF
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
REUSE WHAT WE CAN FROM YEAR TO YEAR
Consider using materials that are reclaimed and can be reused or repurposed at
home or at next year's event. You'll save money (this year AND next), and have
less disposal headaches.
Design your camp structures for reuse, easy deconstruction, storage and
salvage. Use screws instead of nails, reclaimed wood, and metal when possible.
If someone in your camp volunteers to store the structure and associated
shade-cloth, you can spend more time and energy decorating a structure that
will last for years. If you reuse and repurpose the basic framework for your
camp's structure, you can still reconfigure it to give your camp a new look and
feel each year and save money!
Trashion is high fashion! Instead of going shopping, go to your closet or look
to save items from going to the landfill for some styling playa fashions.
Nowadays, burners are meeting for swaps, DIY workshops, and trashion shows. Do
not wear feathers! Even if you sew your feathers in, tiny tufts DO (always,
they do, really) come loose, fly away and become MOOP around BRC and the trash
fence. Check your local Regional list for announcements. And check out some of
the wonderful costume boutiques on the playa.
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
RECYCLE EVERYTHING ELSE – CREATE ZERO WASTE
Plan to Recycle- Buy only aluminum cans and dispose of them at Recycle Camp.
There are many good beers in cans! Check out
http://bit.ly/d18vI
The more cans you leave with Recycle camp, the less you have to take home! Be
sure to separate any other recyclables (glass, steel and plastic) at recycle
centers.
For detailed info and locations for disposing trash and recycling on your way
home, check out: http://survival.burningman.com/leave-no-trace/pack-it-out/
Composting food waste not only reduces garbage but repurposes the waste to
fertilizer. Use a container with a tight lid for transporting the compost home.
Salvage, Reuse, and/or Recycle everything, including camp construction and
demolition waste. Bring your extra wood and other camp building materials to
re-use/salvage centers or the Burning Man collection centers at 3, 6 and 9:00
along the esplanade for used, reusable, building materials at the end of the
event. Take other recyclables to Save Marts or Whole Foods in Reno - check your
survival guide for locations.
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
DISPOSE OF WASTE WITHOUT A TRACE
Plan your camp to minimize clean-up efforts and don't wait until the end of the
week to pick stuff up. Clean as you go. This will help you from getting
overwhelmed by the mess and keep trash from blowing out of reach. Seal the
small amount of trash you have left in big plastic bags, or in five-gallon
buckets with lids, to take home, compost or, if you must, drop off some trash
in local landfills.
This page has a list of neighboring drop-off locations for trash and recycling:
http://bit.ly/LZqf64 including EXTRA, the Exodus Trash and Recycling network of
locations along all routes from Black Rock City that are providing 24-hour
trash-disposal and free recycling services to participants following Burning
Man.
If it doesn't come out of your body, it doesn't go into the Potty. Only
single-ply toilet paper and human waste in the potties. Double-ply is too
thick. Anything else will clog up the toilet vendor two-inch hose resulting in
unserviced potties, and that means trouble. Always use a potty for your body
waste - don't go on the playa. Having a pee jug near your bed will cut down on
trips to the potties.
How will you dispose of your grey water from your kitchen and shower? We cannot
dump grey water directly on the playa. Camps can use small footprint evapotrons
(see www.evapatrons.info), or collect their grey water and take it to one of
the RV dump stations along highway 80, or contract with United Site Services to
let a professional handle the grey water disposal. If you're in a small camp,
with minimal dish- and body-washing water, you might choose to treat your grey
water: pour it through a filter (like a paint sieve), disinfect it with (teeny
amounts of) bleach, then, since it is treated, sprinkle it in your camp to keep
down dust. Learn more at:
http://www.burningman.com/environment/resources/grey_water.html
and
http://www.evapotrons.info/
There are no trash cans in Black Rock city – so you must take any trash you
generate home with you and beware of the hungry wind. Bring tethers, anchors,
containers, and covers, to keep light stuff from blowing away from your camp or
your vehicle.
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
TRAVEL GREEN & RESPONSIBLY & AVOID SENSITIVE AREAS
Winter rains help erase our tracks on the playa, but dust from driving affects
people in BRC. Keep auto speeds under 5 mph in BRC. Do not even think about
taking a dip in the Hot Springs during the event. These delicate ecosystems
cannot handle the impact and visiting them is a violation of our permit. Don't
do it!
Design your Camp Structures and Shelters to withstand the extreme conditions on
the playa and be reusable. Stake your tents and structures so they will stay
secure in the heavy wind, rain, and dust storms that are sudden and usual on
the playa.
Do not dig holes in the playa. Only dig small postholes used for structural
support which are properly tamped and filled. Larger holes easily erode even
when carefully backfilled. They leave a visible mark and create a serious
safety hazard.
Keep your vehicle or RV from dripping oil or other fluids (grey water or black
water) on to the playa. BLM did a study on this and requests that we use pans
or other barriers under our cars, especially older cars, to prevent drips. Be
aware that BLM does walk around the city looking for potential violations.
Leave No Stain!
On the way home, SECURE YOUR LOAD-- don't let your trash fly off your vehicle,
and do not dump it on the side of the road or at a rest stop! Use an approved
dumping facility or take it home with you. Starting home, take a rest stop
early; at the entrance gate, at a wide pullout, or maybe in Empire (if not too
congested). Tie down your load! And check it. It is most likely to fail early
in the trip.
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
MINIMIZE FIRE IMPACTS - HOW DO WE BURN RESPONSIBLY AND CLEANLY?
Don't Burn on the Unprotected Playa. While resilient, the playa surface is
vulnerable to scarring from careless burning. Burning directly on the alkaline
playa BAKES the surface into a dark, hard brick-like material. Use community
burn barrels or a burn platform.
Speaking of burn platforms, this year's Burn "Gardens" and Wood Reclamation
Stations will be located near the Promenades at 3, 6 and 9:00. Each of the
three Burn Gardens will consist of 4 raised metal platforms on a decomposed
granite (DG) burn scar prevention pad (this is how we protect the playa from
scars). Trained volunteers will be present to help assist and direct you and
your pile of burnables. Staffing will begin on Sunday morning at 9:00am and
continue 24 hours/day through Tuesday evening.
Reduce and Reuse: Fires are for celebration and spiritual connection, not
places to dump garbage. Low temperature burning produces toxic emissions, so
minimize what you burn. Recycle or reuse materials. If you do burn, be sure the
wood you place in the burn platform is well contained. When the platforms are
overloaded, burning wood can hit the playa and cause a burn scar. Have tools on
hand to break down and cut up larger pieces.
Don't Overload the Burn Platforms – Recycle Your Wood! Bring your extra wood
and other camp building materials to the Wood Reclamation Stations at 3, 6 and
9:00 along the Esplanade on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.
Burn Clean: Be careful to burn only clean (no paint) wood or paper! Don't burn
anything that is toxic! Carpets, cushioned furniture, PVC and other plastics
release dioxins, formaldehyde, and other nasty stuff. The community burn
platforms are low to the ground, and produce smoke that is easily inhaled. The
low temperature, incomplete combustion emits toxic gases and particulates. Do
not put any trash into your burn barrels! For more information on the hazards
associated with toxic fumes: Don't burn that sofa! Did you know that burning
wool creates cyanide gas? CYANIDE. Don't do it- schlep that thing home and take
it to the dump. Proper.

**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
RESPECT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, SHARE RESOURCES AND HUNT MOOP
Promote LNT neighborhoods. Initiate a MOOP sweep with your neighbors to keep
your part of the city clean and green. If you get overwhelmed, ask for help.
The LNT principle, "Be considerate of Other Visitors," in our city, includes
helping neighbors to leave no trace. Carry a MOOP bag and water as you walk
around your part of the city. What’s a MOOP bag? Ideally, it’s a narrow fabric
bag, (plastic bags can blow away) with a strap or clip, that you can carry with
you on the playa. Your MOOP bag gives you a place to stow your own MOOP as well
as MOOP you find on the playa.
"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of
yourself that you truly give." - Kahlil Gibran
Gifting in a LNT Community: Instead of bringing cheap trinkets for gifts that
become MOOP, consider the gift of one's self. Look around and pitch in to help
keep things clean: offer a tool, an extra hand, a gesture of thanks. Try giving
a smile, a helping hand or a joke. Help a neighbor set up camp. You are the
best gift.
Partner with other camps to share resources. Many camps now collaborate on
shared energy sources and grey water management. If you're in a Village, you
work with your village organizers to place camps so that sharing generators (or
even better, renewable power sources) can happen.
Discuss the possibility of sharing water and water treatment needs with others
in your camp and village. Many theme camps within villages take advantage of
shared resources to use larger scale processes to store their drinking and
shower water and treat their grey water. Do not bring single serving disposable
plastic bottles of water to Burning Man!
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
DO YOUR PART
On first reaching Black Rock City, we encounter one of the most profoundly
barren and empty corners of the world. Do Your Part to keep it that way!
Clean As You Go and Grid Sweep Your Camp at the End! Don't wait until the end
of the week to pick stuff up, NEVER LET IT HIT THE GROUND and CLEAN AS YOU GO.
This will help you from getting overwhelmed by the mess and help keep trash
from blowing out of reach. Once you have taken down your camp, pack-up and load
everything (including all trash) into your vehicles, and do a line sweep for
every last bit of MOOP. Use something like cones on the outside of your camp's
border to define your boundaries, break up any dunes that formed around
vehicles or structures, then divide up your area and begin line sweeps. Give
everyone a sack, line them up along one edge of camp, look down and slowly walk
to the other side. Cover your entire area looking for those last bits of trash-
every wood chip, plastic piece, twist tie, cigarette butt, food scrap, carpet
fiber, match, nut shell, scrap of plastic, everything. Check out DA’s (leader
of DPW’s Playa Restoration team) MOOP blog:
http://moopmap.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-lead-line-sweep.html
A buried rebar or tent stake doesn't disappear. Instead, its hazard is
magnified. Even when pounded below the surface, a stake will slowly,
inevitably, emerge from the playa, creating a terrible hazard later. Vise-grips
will almost always remove a stuck stake. First, clamp on the vise-grips and
rotate the stake back and forth, to break the playa's grip. Then continue
rotating and also pull upwards. Still stuck? Ask a neighbor for help. Next
year, remember that smooth stakes pull out much easier than ridged rebar.
Devote 2 Hours to General Cleanup in Black Rock City. This means MOOP sweeps in
the streets, public spaces, and open playa, removing all burn scars, dunes,
leftover debris, or other physical traces of our presence. Stop by the Earth
Guardian camp during the week and on Sunday and Monday -- we'll give you a
beautiful reusable MOOP bag and direct you to the areas of the City that need
the most attention. Consider staying an extra day to help clean-up and avoid
the Sunday and Monday traffic!
Consider joining the DPW post-event restoration crews. Help us clean and
restore the playa, so that we and all its visitors can appreciate its beauty
again and again. Come back to the Black Rock Desert after the event and
participate in restoration activities. The Earth Guardians participate in
eco-restoration activities year-round. For more information, check out our
calendar at http://www.earthguardians.net
Do Your Part -Year-Round
Participate in Environmental Stewardship. As home to Burning Man, the Black
Rock Desert has importance to the Burning Man community. Burners are continuing
their efforts to take care of the desert environment with the Bureau of Land
Management and Friends of Black Rock/High Rock. Stop by the Earth Guardian
Pavilion at Esplanade near Center camp to sign up for environmental workshops
throughout the week.
Let's keep our beautiful desert home clean year round! See the Earth Guardians
pages for more details:
http://www.earthguardians.net
Promote more sustainable practices at Burning Man with Respect, Rethink,
Reduce, Reuse, Precycle, Recycle and Restore, resulting in more awareness of
conservation, ecological and plastic footprints, carbon equivalent offsets, and
alternative energy sources, protecting our global habitat. Interested in
helping, come to the Earth Guardians Pavilion and participate in one of our
workshops.
RESPECT THE PLAYA - NEVER LET IT HIT THE GROUND!
RESPECT, RETHINK, PRECYCLE, REDUCE, REUSE, RECYLE and RESTORE! DON'T LET IT HIT
THE GROUND - CLEAN AS YOU GO!
Watch for weekly, daily tips at the Black Rock City Earth Guardian Facebook

WHERE TO DISPOSE OF YOUR RECYCLING AND TRASH
Several of our neighbors return this year in support of everyone's need to
responsibly dispose of their recycling and trash following Burning Man. You
definitely cannot leave it on the playa. You definitely cannot leave it on the
side on the road, at a rest area, or behind a convenience store. And to not
responsibly dispose of your recycling and trash will not only lead to your
potential prosecution by law enforcement. It also makes hazardous work for
others, and it reflects very badly on Burning Man. You can of course take it
all the way home with you and responsibly dispose of it there. But why not take
it to one of these nearby, convenient, 24-hour locations, instead of lugging it
all the way home? And show them some love while you're at it, why don't you, as
this is no small feat!
THE BURNING MAN EXODUS TRASH AND RECYCLING NETWORK (EXTRA!)
Saturday, August 31 – Wednesday, September 4. OPEN 24 HOURS!
There are several convenient 24-hour trash and recycling centers along all
Exodus routes. Recycling is free and trash disposal is approximately $5 per
35-gallon trash bag. HUMAN AND OTHER HAZARDOUS WASTE IS ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED!
Accepted Recyclables: Bicycles, plastics (SPI 1-5), glass, all metals, paper,
cardboard, plastic bags, household (rechargeable and disposable) batteries, and
non-perishable food and water. Please plan ahead, clean your recyclables as
much as possible, and have them debagged and sorted before depositing into the
appropriate containers. Deposit trash separately into appropriate dumpsters.
Again: NO human and other hazardous waste whatsoever!
And remember this is a tremendously generous service to our community – PLEASE
be polite and responsible!
