I saw a lot of trash along the road on exit and it was disgusting. Yes, it would have been really nice to stop and pick it up . . . but there was far too much of it to fit in someone’s already over packed vehicle and the potential for serious disaster by pulling out of the traffic and then trying to get back in would have made it one of the worst decisions ever.

@Osiris… Be a part of the solution not problem… If Dustin was he would not be here complaining.

@AsOfTime Hmm, what would make a spectator responsible for someone else’s trash?

I may be wrong. Just doesn’t seem fair to throw a debt of responsibility on someone who didn’t commit the ‘crime’. No?

…maybe you were grossed out over yourself for not doing something about it. Responsible?

@Dustin… Did you get out of your car and help pick it up or did you just drive by?

My favorites:

1) Precyle (has a nice ring)
2) Don’t let it hit the ground
3) Bring less

@Dustin Wind Wow, I cannot believe there was trash all on the side of the road. I may attend Burning Man for my first time this year. If I saw all that trash, I would be ashamed as well. Especially because of the stereotypes associated with the community.

Question: Why are bicycles listed?

is this one of the ideas? Water & chlorine? nooooooo I can’t believe it….evaporation ponds really aren’t that difficult…it’s so dry & hot that everything evaporates into a powder / then you wrap up the yucky plastic and haul it away….

After 18 solid years of Burning, the notion that we can simply douse our grey water with Chlorine and spew it all over the Playa is sooooo stupid for sooooo many reasons.
Imagine 25 thousand newbies dumping grey water on the Playa as if it was an established practice.
If ever a reason to stop attending Bman. This one takes the cake.
Leaving no trace is what makes Bman stand out from all those curated, boring events such as Earth Dance, Symbiosis, etc.
Who dreamt up this lazy idea. Im so ashamed of you Borg.
