The people who left garbage at the I-80 Smoke Shop in Wadsworth (see above pics) are the ones LEO’s should arrest and fine. Looks like it’s $475. (http://www.litterbutt.com/Stop-Litter-Campaign/Litter-Laws-By-State.aspx)

LEO’s should send all their “burner type” undercover agents there and collect $ big time. Might even teach the asshat bad burners something.

A few friends of mine watched the burn of this and there were 2 “fire safety” people standing and drinking beer in front of us who would not move after we asked politely. I guess the Ego isn’t all burned yet :)

did you expect any less from yourself and the people you invite?

I’m bitterly disappointed in the many burners who MOOPed all over the place! I love Burning Man for the principles it espouses and applaud all of you who work so hard to clean up after we leave. I agree with the person above me who said that true burners treat the playa with respect because it is our true home…we also need to treat our entire planet with the same respect!

it is the newbies responsibility to learn the burning man culture LNT and survival guide!
but it sounds like they are just being ignorant and they dont understand the real meaning behind being part of a comunity. I dont think that burning man would have lasted so long if we all just made a mess and then went home!

Why don’t you have dumpsters at the event so you don’t trash the rest of Nevada? burners are dirty pigs

What an inspiration. Hope there is room for me on the 447 cleanup crew next year.

Honestly, what do you expect from a bunch of new burners ?? I saw some asshole with all his garbage tied (very poor tie job by the way) to the roof of his car during exodus on Tuesday afternoon. By the time he made it to Empire, all of his garbage was all over the highway !!!

Use your fucking common sense fuckers !!! If ya dont have any, stay at home and destroy your house.

Much thanks to all involved in getting the highways clean. You guys and gals rock !!

This was only my second year, but I saw a huge increase in the amount of moop on the playa and in how much trash I saw along the road on the way out. I really think the BMORG did a poor job of communicating just what Leave No Trace means to the hordes of newbies.

As a virgin burner (but old at heart) I was upset to see so much trash between the gates and through to the I80. These people live here 365 days a year, not the week or so that we do on the Playa. It’s not fair to make it so hard for them. We took our trash to Reno (inside the car), smelling all the way, just because even at Monday 8 am it looked like a struggle. Then on the I80 the car in front’s rubbish load came undone and nearly hit us square in the windscreen, and the driver smiled and waved as we drove past, unknowingly…

LNT and MOOP really need to be addressed, and it’s not just Newbies. The worse it gets, the less likely anyone will be on the Playa in future years. :(
