===Solution===
===Solar===
After all these years and all these words, we are shockingly still in the Stone Age of plastic recycling. A long-term solution demands that we break the table-to-landfill cycle and weave plastic recycling deep into our lives by turning it into a habit, a ritual.<BR>
We have been working on solar solutions for [[Geodesic_Temple|Geodesic Temple]] with our friends at [https://blackrocklabs.org Black Rock Labs] since 2017.<BR>
1. Keep it simple.<BR>
1.1. Use what's readily available. Recycling process does not require water, chemicals, additives, adhesives, or fillers. Ultimately, it should not require electricity but we will probably use some electricity at the beginning to jumpstart the process.<BR>
1.2. No sorting, cleaning or pre-processing. We need to find ways to make recycling entertaining and intellectually rewarding, in other words, we need to amplify the feel-good factor. Plastic recycling should be as easy as possible hence no sorting, cleaning or pre-processing. There are arguments for pre-processing but at our stage of recycling (remember, we're at the Stone Age) we just need to keep it as simple as possible to get started. We can get fancy later.<BR>
2. On-site, on-scale and self-reliant. Moving trash around is a big part of the pollution problem. Ironically, current recycling strategies involve polluting the air further y shipping huge amounts of trash around the planet. Plastic to be recycled by Disorient is not moved to another facility across the playa or across the planet. It is reconfigured on site with a solution tailored to our problem.<BR>
3. Distributed. Based on #2, the solution should be open-source and easily replicable by other individuals/camps/communities. We are not aiming for an industrial solution. We need to address the problem where it happens: everyone's backyard. Stay small, distribute widely.<BR>

Immediate recycling of most camp plastics.

Transformative Shower System Hybrid Program (TSSHP)

Cell Lead: Proto

Shared community space to ascend and renew. Perspective and Perseverance are two assets of playa life. With disorient’s founder’s guidance a short/medium/longterm evolving program to reenergize our community will spearhead Burning mans ___? 2027 net zero goal.

Like nature, the parts of the biota collaborate to support the overall ecosystem. We plan to do the same. Wind, Water, Gravity, and thermal exchanges are the toys of physics we persevere or enjoy. We play/engineer/strive for balance. We purpose an experience diverse spatially. A shower system to accommodate 4-5 privately, semi-privately and for those freed, a pinnacle perspective with only gravity accountable. A cool lounge pre and post cleanse lit to illuminate your imagination. The top of the structure will have staircase to a crow’s nest where the last shower will have a view of the camp/playa. Integrated into the staircase will be the infrastructure for a vertical axis windmill generating XX Kws. As a complete unit this lighthouse for net 0 power generation can be replicated on all four (5-6 units maybe) corners of Disorient aspiring to us achieved to net zero.

Top priority: no one get seriously hurt or dies.

2023: A base structure of a shower(s) / eagle’s nest / greywater swamp cooler lounge.

2024: Design with intention the base structural will facilitate the vertical Windmill prototype. Recordation from diesel generators total camp usage from alpha, burn, Disengage.

2025: Refine/optimize windmill prototype for more KWs and maybe make a better turbine design.

2026: Reproduce 2-4

2027: Sell units to other camps. Achieve net Zero

Disorient Unplugged

Further exploring sustainable options, Disorient Unplugged is a new type of Disorient event that uses no electricity on site. Removing electricity from our practice is a challenge that forces us to rethink fundamental aspects of Disorient.
Our first Disorient Unplugged event was Disorient presents: BURNING MANTAP in Bali in 2021.
