I Was Just Leaving... No Trace

Take a trip through the puzzle of porta-potties at a free-range event, highway happenings, and the new news about prep. This is deeper than “What is MOOP?” This is the ART of Leaving No Trace.

It’s part of the Burning Man ethos, and it’s why Black Rock City is the world's largest Leave No Trace event. Now nearly 100 other Burning Man events around the globe adhere to this attitude, this mindset. It’s an ongoing quest to leave less and less of a trace. As the principle is written, it invites us to leave spaces in better shape than we found them.

The 75,000 citizens of BRC pick up after themselves. It’s miraculous. And we can do more.

Those of us who take on the challenge, we see it as a process, a practice, a stretch goal. We look at ways to get closer to that zero point. Each of us is at a different point on the LNT learning curve. The next level is to develop techniques to do it collectively. It is a set of behaviors to be cultivated.

In this episode, we talk with some of the unsung heroes:

blue: DPW Logistics & Project Manager of Recycle Camp
Barbarella: Resto’s Highway Clean-Up Manager
DA: Playa Restoration Manager
Hazmatt: Associate Director of BRC Business Operations

We look at what gets left behind, so we can grok our cumulative impact, and make a better choice, a better cascade of choices, to teach good citizenship. Plus, eh, there may be a few poop jokes.

There’s an old saying in Black Rock City: “It was better next year.” Let’s leave no trace so that there will be a next year.
