<!--
In 2014, Disorient was delightfully GREEN on the moop map, in all of our camp spaces. However, we did not achieve green on our esplanade frontage across the street from camp. While we think we nailed it with our in-camp LNT practices and moop management, 2015 will require a stronger presence mooping the esplanade to achieve TOTAL GREEN IN 2015!!!!
 
2014 demonstrated that more prevention activities are needed to ensure that moop "never hits the ground". Ocean will be present during Alpha setup to work with project leads on prevention initiatives.
 
Ocean, who joined forces with DPW in 2007 for the Playa Restoration project, will contribute her experience in mooping strategies to disorient in 2015, and help coordinate our camp's cleanup planning.
 
Our new policy is:  No MOOP left behind.
 
===INFORMING THE MASSES===
 
In 2015 disorient will ensure that everyone registered to camp with us will receive a copy of our LNT plan for 2015 and asked to acknowledge their pARTicipation in the cleanup effort.  A strike crew will be coordinated during the early planning phases of the camp. 
 
Groups of campers will be asked to identify what they will do to MOOP their space.
 
Projects within disorient will develop individual LNT plans and identify key people responsible for MOOPing their space.
 
When greeting campers on site, we will also take a moment to remind them of the importance of their participation in our LNT plan.
 
Campers will be asked to moop their individual sites, and remove ALL rebar before leaving for exodus.
All campers will be asked to spend a few hours mooping the front of camp (esplanade) in the early stages of packing out.
 
And speaking of Exodus, campers will be reminded to donate copiously to Exodus on the way out of BRC.
 
===LINE SWEEPS===
 
Line sweeps, especially in the communal areas of camp will take place daily, or after major dust events on playa.  Campers will be asked to commit to pARTicipating in the line sweeps during our camp planning meetings.
 
Line sweeps will take place on a more intensive scale in the days following the event when most campers have left disorient.  A core group of people will remain behind to git 'er done.
 
 
===MAJOR PROJECTS===
 
Wood chips represent one of the most commonly found MOOP on the playa.  In 2015, drop cloths will be laid down for any construction involving wood and around our containers during the unpacking phase.
 
The disorient containers have carpets and drop cloths laid out in front of them during the unloading phase and through the week, to minimize impact of little moop that comes out of the containers.
 
Disorient has a metal rake and will use it within project areas to pick up lost screws, nuts, bolts and random other.
 
To prevent grey water spills, a giant tarp will be placed underneath the shower area. This practice significantly reduced shower related moop in 2014!
 
Our camp kitchen will be fully tarped to prevent kitchen related spills, and communal areas are covered with drop cloths.
 
===BIKES===
 
In 2010 we will encourage campers to love their bikes and bring them home to use as year round sustainable transportation. 
 
The inevitable 'stray bikes' left behind by visitors to our camp will either be assimilated into the disorient fleet where storage is possible or brought to Playa Info so that no bikes will remain within disorient after disengage.

<br />
<br />
5. Bring twice as many trash bags as you think you will need. A minimum of 20 heavy duty garbage bags per sub camp. If you have extras at the end, DPW will love you for leaving them with them on the way out.<br />
5. Bring twice as many trash bags as you think you will need so you can share them with your neighbor. A minimum of 20 heavy duty 3 mil or 4 mil (that's the thickness of the plastic, it is written on the container the bags come in) "contractor grade" garbage bags per sub camp. If you have extras at the end, DPW will love you for leaving them with them on the way out.<br />

4. Burn your burnables. My sister, who is an ecology major says this is bad to do, but I think on such a small scale it can't hurt to much. You decide to recycle or burn it.<br />
3. Help with daily runs to recycle camp. I'll love you for it.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Help with a midweek trash run. You'll love yourself for it.<br />If you want people to carry your trash keep it in medium sized bags, light enough to be lifted by the weakest most tired person you have ever met. If its leaky or gooey, double bag it or the friend won't goo up his car just cuz you're in disorient. If you string your bags together, use an easily removable knot (makes it much easier to discretely toss a bag or two in the gas station parking lot garbage).
4. Burn your burnables in the Disorient burn barrel. <br />
<br />
<br />
5. BUY CONTRACTOR BAGS. Do not bring the cheaper bags, they can bust making moopy messes! Help with a midweek trash run.

LEAVE NO TRACE & BE GREEN AT BURNING MAN
Once you've passed the Gate and the Greeters, you are already a
participant and a contributor to a very large artwork: the wonderful
disappearing city. Leaving no trace of Black Rock City is enormously
significant - that's what gets us the OK to return to the playa every
year - and it's also a matter of simple details, one step at a time.
Being Green is not just associated with this year's theme, but is the
right thing to do to spread positive impacts beyond the playa. If you
put some these planning tips into your camp, your days on the playa will
likely be easier, cleaner, happier and healthier.
The Earth Guardians have been collecting and recording LNT and Green
tips for playa living. Visit their website at:
http://earthguardians.burningman.com
Here are the EG's top ten LNT and Green reminders
1) CAMP SMARTER, NOT HARDER -- PREPARE A LEAVE NO TRACE & A GREEN PLAN
2) IF IT DOESN'T COME OUT OF YOUR BODY IT DOESN'T GO INTO THE POTTY.
3) RESPECT, RETHINK, REDUCE, REUSE, PRECYCLE, RECYCLE AND RESTORE!
4) NEVER LET IT HIT THE GROUND (INCLUDING GREY WATER), CLEAN AS YOU GO!
& SECURE ITEMS FROM THE WIND
5) CONSERVE ENERGY & USE ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES (SOLAR, WIND, BIODIESEL)
6) CONSIDER WHETHER YOUR GIFT IS MORE LIKELY TO BECOME MOOP THAN A
KEEPSAKE. GIVE SMART.
7) BE A LNT GOOD NEIGHOR, LEND A HAND, SHARE CLEAN ENERGY, CARRY A MOOP BAG
8) GRID YOUR CAMP BEFORE YOU LEAVE
9) PREPARE FOR THE HUNGRY WIND - SECURE YOUR LOAD, ESPECIALLY YOUR TRASH
10) VOLUNTEER FOR CLEAN UP WITH DPW & PARTICIPATE IN ECO-RESTORATION
PROJECTS OUTSIDE THE BLACK ROCK CITY BORDERS!

THE PRINCIPLES OF LEAVE NO TRACE
It takes thousands of people to create a disappearing city, and the
how-to lore keeps growing. The Earth Guardians collect good ideas from
camps and citizens, mix in Leave No Trace principles, and pass them
along. Not only will you reduce the Matter Out Of Place ("MOOP"), you'll
make your camp life easier and more pleasant.
Leave No Trace Principles - We have embraced these seven LNT principles
as the largest LNT event in the world. The Leave No Trace Organization
has more information on their website: http://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
THE GREEN PRINCIPLES
We have developed some Green Principles to help you bring Green thinking
into your event planning. Taking "green" into consideration means
thinking about the effect each of your decisions has on the environment
beyond the playa and choosing the least harmful option.
1. Rethink and Reduce What We Purchase & Bring
2. Conserve Energy & Reduce the Use of Fossil Fuels
3. Reuse What We Can From Year to Year
4. Recycle Everything Else - Aim for Zero Waste
5. Coordinate With Our Neighbors to Share Resources
6. Respect the Environment
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/***\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
LNT Principle 1 - Plan Ahead and Prepare
Pick a Leave No Trace team for your camp and develop a LNT plan. These
folks will work LNT into your planning and preparing, help set up the
camp so that it doesn't blow away, help to plan your camp's cleanup and
break-down ahead of time, figure out how to reduce waste (especially
stinky trash), design gray water disposal, and identify what NOT to
burn. If you plan and ahead and prepare to LNT, you'll have less to haul
up to the playa, have a happier playa life and have less to clean-up at
the end of the week
http://earthguardians.burningman.com/burning_lnt_samplelntplan.htm
Minimize kitchen waste and clean-up by planning simple, low-dishwashing
meals, repackaging and preparing food in advance. Bring two-thirds the
food you think you'll need. Repackage and prepare food in advance. Bring
water in a big reusable plastic container and bring reusable cups,
utensils, bowls or plates, not Styrofoam that will blow all over the
playa. Ask visitors to your camp to BYOM (bring your own mug) and take
your own mug to the Center Camp Cafe. A carabiner or shower hook easily
secures it for transport around the City. Many fashionable bars also
appreciate BYOMers!
Separate and sort trash in your kitchen, including compost and
recycling. Collect food waste in a mesh bag. The food will dry up,
becoming light and nearly odorless. Easy! Plan on burning paper and wood
in a community burn platform. Here's food wisdom from a decade on the
playa:
http://burningman.com/environment/resources/trash_tips.html
Plan your camp to minimize clean-up efforts. 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 help keep trash from blowing out of
reach. Plan to seal the small amount of trash you have left in big
plastic bags, or in five-gallon buckets with lids, to take home, or, if
you must, drop off some trash in local landfills.

Green Principle 1 -Rethink and Reduce What We Purchase & Bring
What are you going to do to be sustainable at/to/from BRC in 2007 with
your camp, in the camp's art projects, in transportation, etc.?  Taking
"green" into consideration means thinking about the effect each of your
decisions has on the environment and choosing the least harmful option.
  Things to take into consideration include the type and the materials
being used, waste produced and energy consumed.
Use Greener Materials. Consider using materials that can be reused or
repurposed at home or at next year's event. Plan to use nontoxic,
biodegradable, renewable and salvageable materials. Select materials and
decorations for your camp that lessen waste and are recyclable or
reusable. You'll have less cost and less disposal headaches at the end
of the event. You'll also save money when preparing for next year.
More on materials:
http://burningman.com/environment/resources/materials.html
Plan to Reduce energy use, consider alternative sources and off-set
carbon emissions. Incorporate energy-efficient power and lighting. Use
alternative energy sources such as human, solar, wind, or biodiesel
fuel.  Carpool and/or offset carbon emissions associated with
transportation and energy (generators) and coordinate with sister camps
to share transportation and energy generation.
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/***\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
LNT Principle 2 -Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
Winter rains help erase our tracks on the playa, but dust from driving
affects people right away. Keep auto speeds under 5 mph in Black Rock
City when you travel to your camp upon arrival, and drive only on
obvious, marked roads.
Do not consider taking a dip in the Hot Springs during the event. These
delicate ecosystems cannot handle the volume of visitors that use during
the event would create.
Design your Camp Structures and Shelters to be LNT. Plan your structure
to be able 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. Recycle Your Structure: Plan your camp around reusing your
structure each year. 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!
Do not dig holes in the playa. Small postholes used for structural
support are the sole exception and must be properly tamped and tilled
when you are finished with them. Larger holes easily erode within a
year's time even when carefully backfilled. They leave a visible mark
and create a serious safety hazard.
Keep your vehicle from dripping oil or other fluids on to the playa. BLM
did a study on this a few years ago and asked burners to use pans or
other barriers under their cars, especially older cars/RV's, to prevent
drips.
Always use a potty for your body waste - not the playa. Having a pee jug
near your bed will cut down on trips to the potties.
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/***\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
Green Principle 2 -Conserve Energy & Reduce the Use of Fossil Fuels
Plan to conserve energy. Reduce energy use and incorporate energy-
efficient power and lighting.  Illuminate you camp with energy efficient
light bulbs, LED's or EL wire.  Use rechargeable batteries. There are
also many handy garden and tool lights that include solar cells.
New page on lighting at
http://burningman.com/environment/resources/lighting.html
Use alternative energy sources (human, solar, wind, biodiesel). The
folks at the Alternative Energy Zone (http://www.aez.org ) have been
living generator free for many playa years!  If you must use a
generator, consider biodiesel fuels instead of gasoline.
Get your car's maintenance done on a regular basis.  A well maintained
car produces lower emissions and is more dependable on the way to Black
Rock City. After you reduce, consider purchasing carbon off-sets from
http://www.Coolingman.org to offset what remaining emissions you produce
with transportation and energy (generators).  Their web site contains a
handy spreadsheet you can use to calculate your carbon emissions.
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/***\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
LNT Principle 3 -Dispose of Waste Properly
If it doesn't come out of your body it doesn't go into the potty.
  Only single-ply toilet paper and human waste can go in the potties.
Anything else can cause a clog when the toilet vendor empties the tank
through a two-inch hose. Otherwise we have unserviced potties, and that
means trouble.
How will you dispose of your grey water from your kitchen and shower?
Our permit from BLM does NOT allow us to dump grey water directly on the
playa.  Camps can collect grey water and contract with the potty vendor,
or take it to one of the RV dump stations along Interstate 80 after the
event. You could use a variety of techniques to evaporate and reduce
grey water, or if you're in a very 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 bleach, then,
since it is treated, sprinkle it on your street to keep down dust. Learn
more at: http://earthguardians.burningman.com/lnt_practices_water.htm
There are no trash cans in Black Rock City - so be prepared to 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.
When leaving Black Rock City, secure your load, especially your trash.
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 on the way home!  Use an approved
dumping facility or take or home with you.  Plan ahead before you even
pack for the playa so you leave with a minimal amount of trash. Starting
home, take a rest stop early; at the entrance gate, at a wide pullout,
or maybe at the Empire store. Check your load. It is most likely to fail
early in the trip.
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/***\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
Green Principle 3 -Reuse What We Can From Year to Year
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 on a
structure that will last for years.
Consider using materials that are reclaimed and can be reused or
repurposed at home or at next year's event. You'll save money before the
event and have less cost and less disposal headaches at the end of the
event. You'll also save money when preparing for next year.
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.  Check out trashion experts web site for inspiration :

Burn Responsibly: Don't Burn on the Unprotected Playa. Burning directly
on the alkaline playa BAKES the surface into a dark, hard brick-like
material. Use community burn barrels or a burn platform.
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 where
you can.
Take reusable wood to a Burners with Borders recycle station instead of
burning it!  On Sunday and Monday, Burners Without Borders lumber
recycling stations will be located near 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 at 100 feet
from the Esplanade. Full story:
http://www.burningman.com/environment/blog/?p=22
Don't Overload the Burn Platforms - Recycle Your Wood! Bring your extra
wood and other camp building materials to re-use/salvage centers or to a
Burners Wiithout Borders lumber recycling station, rather than burning
or taking to a dump. 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.
Burn Clean: Be careful to burn only clean (no paint) wood or paper! You
can burn on one of the community burn platforms along the Esplanade,
just don't burn anything that is toxic! Carpets, cushioned furniture,
PVC and other plastics release dioxins, formaldehyde, and other nasty
stuff. The community burn barrels and 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! Please check out
http://www.burningman.com/preparation/event_survival/toxic.html for more
information on the hazards associated with toxic fumes.
Participate - Each of us can play a part in protecting the health of our
community and the incredible beauty of the playa. Join the Toxic
Avengers! If you want to volunteer to help educate our citizens about
wood recycling and responsible ways to burn, email
toxicavengers@burningman.com, and please come by the Earth Guardians
Pavilion at Esplanade and 5:45 during the event and sign up for our
daily crusades or weekend citizen patrols. We'll be having a meeting on
Friday at 1:00 to train new volunteers.

Green Principle 4 -Recycle Everything Else - Aim for Zero Waste
Plan to Recycle- Buy only aluminum cans and plan to dispose of the cans
at Recycle Camp. There are many good beers in cans (tip: several area
stores in Reno/Sparks are stocking up big time on more kinds of canned
beers this year so you can make the choice for cans over glass. More
info in future issues.) Check out
http://www.burningman.com/preparation/event_survival/drinks.html to find
some.  The more cans you can leave with Recycle camp, the less you have
to take home!  Be sure and separate any other recyclables (glass and
plastic) at recycle centers near home.
Composting food waste not only reduces garbage but repurposes the waste
to fertilizer.  Be sure and use a container with a tight lid for
transporting the compost home.
Salvage, Reuse, and/or Recycling everything onsite, including camp
construction and demolition waste. Take the extra effort after Burning
Man to bring your extra wood and other camp building materials to
re-use/salvage centers, rather than burning or taking to a dump. Burners
without Borders is planning to once again collect used, reusable,
building materials at the end of the event at wood collection sites
throughout the city. Check the Green Map for locations.

Leave No Trace Principle 5 - Be Considerate of Other Visitors
Promote LNT neighborhoods. Be proud of your neighborhood: work together
with your neighbors to keep your part of the city clean. Every year some
camps get overwhelmed and need help. The LNT principle, "Be considerate
of Other Visitors," in our city, includes helping neighbors to leave no
trace. Carry a MOOP bag with you everywhere - just like your water - as
you walk around your part of the city.
"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: We all enjoy the generosity and gifts of our
theme camps, artists, and fellow citizens. Instead of just 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.
Devote Two Hours to General Cleanup in Black Rock City. This means the
streets, public spaces, and open playa where stuff may have been left
behind. Consider staying an extra day to help clean-up and avoid the
Sunday and Monday traffic!
Prepare for the Hungry Wind - Secure your load, especially your trash.
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 on the way home! Use an approved
dumping facility or take or home with you. Plan ahead before you even
pack for the playa so you leave with a minimal amount of trash. When
starting home, take a rest stop early; at the entrance gate, at a wide
pullout, or maybe at the Empire store. Check your load. It is most
likely to fail early in the trip.
Come back to the Black Rock Desert after the event and participate in
restoration activities. Helping the DPW clean the playa in September can
be very satisfying. The Earth Guardians participate in eco-restoration
activities year-round. For more information, check out our calendar at
http://earthguardians.burningman.com/events_calendar.htm
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/***\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
Green Principle 5 -Coordinate With Our Neighbors to Share Resources
Coordinate with other participants to carpool, reduce your
transportation costs and impacts and make new friends even before you
get to the playa.  Note that many Regionals also coordinate to ship
supplies to the playa. Check with your local regional contact and test
out the BM rideshare web page:
http://www.burningman.com/preparation/resources/rideshare.html
Coordinate with other camps to share energy generation. If you're in a
Village, you work with your village organizers to place camps so that
sharing generators (or even better alternative 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 small plastic bottles of water to the playa.

Leave No Trace Principle 6 - Leave What You Find
On first reaching the playa, we encounter one of the profoundly barren
and empty corners of the world. That is exactly what we want to leave.
Clean As You Go and Grid 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 plastic bag, 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.
You can't hide a stuck stake by burying it. Instead, its hazard is
magnified. Even when pounded below the surface, a stake will slowly,
inevitably, emerge from the playa. 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.
Dedicate Two Hours to General Cleanup in Black Rock City! Each
participant is asked to contribute two hours to community cleanup before
departure. This means streets, Center Camp, Center Cafe, all other
public spaces, and open playa where stuff may have been left behind.
Pitch in with your fellow citizens and community service teams to
restore the natural characteristics of the playa in your neighborhood,
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 MOOP bag and
direct you to the areas of the City that needs the most attention.
Consider joining the DPW post-event restoration crews. Help us clean and
restore the playa, so that we can all return again.

Green Principle 6 -Respect the Environment & LNT Principle 7 - Respect
Wildlife
At first glance, this principle may not seem as applicable to Burning
Man. However, as users of the Black Rock Desert, we share the Black Rock
Desert NCA with many native species. As home to Burning Man, the Black
Rock High Rock NCA has importance to the Burning Man community. Earth
Guardians have partnered with BLM and other user groups to restore
sensitive areas around the Black Rock Desert and have also taken on our
own restoration projects.
Participate in Earth Guardians Eco-Restoration at Coyote Springs.  In
honor of The Green Man, EG's are expanding 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 5:45 to sign up for restoration work parties and naturalist-led
desert walks throughout the week.
Let's keep our beautiful desert home clean year round! See the EG pages
for more details: http://earthguardians.burningman.com
Promote more sustainable practices at Burning Man with Respect, Rethink,
Reduce, Reuse, Precycle, Recycle and Restore, resulting in more
awareness of conservation, ecological footprints, carbon equivalent
offsets, and alternative energy sources, protecting our global habitat.
Interested in helping, come to the Earth Guardians pavilion on Wednesday
at to learn more about Greening Your Burn.
Also, don't forget, The Desert is no place for dogs or other pets.
Burning Man is a no dog event. For questions, contact dogs@burningman.com
