Leave No Trace

Burningman is a Leave No Trace event so we have implemented a Leave No Trace plan.

Mile High Club team members will read the Event Survival guide on the Burning Man website and follow suggestions to minimize trash and MOOP. Each team member is responsible for keeping common areas clean and immediately removing MOOP.

Burnable trash will be collected in a paper bag in the kitchen and will be burned at night in the burn barrel. Aluminum will be collected in a bag in the kitchen and will be taken to Denver Colorado Recycling program. Each team member is responsible to collect and dispose of their own non-burnable and non-recyclable trash after leaving the Playa.

Shower and other gray water will be dispersed through the evaporation pond. Camp members are expected to limit showers to the absolutely necessary and retain empty jugs to carry home any gray water that does not evaporate.

Mike D (Canteen Boy) has volunteered for MOOP Patrol and will walk the camp once a day to make sure the Leave No Trace plan is effective. After packing up camp to leave the Playa, we will walk the entire area to eliminate even the smallest pieces of MOOP that may remain.

Mike is also bringing a empty pickup to hall as many left over bikes away as he can. A gift to all those burners that some how can hall a bike in, but some how can not get it out.
