@MrHand-ih4sz I saw "real Burners" cleaning up, but of course that's not gonna be shown on the news and my friends and I put away our phones for the week so we couldn't get it on video. I saw people with trash bags hunched over in the rain digging through the mud looking for the smallest trash: bracelets, bottle caps, batteries, etc. I even saw a guy grab a bottle cap that had fallen into a urinal. I think most people there try to leave no trace. At least that's been my experience.

@ucsbgirlie18 10 месяцев назад

@IZACK1 that's been historically reported as true and I think it's pretty unfair to report on this in this way. It would be like judging a neighborhood for being dirty the day after a hurricane. How does anyone expect people to do a perfect cleanup job when they were stranded in rain and mud, and had to shelter in place for days. It's not like they abandoned cars for fun.

The country is a bit naive in not getting a cleanup bond from the organisers.

Pretty much standard with any event in America, mainly by insurance policies though, which makes the festival responsible for damages, which includes not cleaning up.

@IZACK1 10 месяцев назад

They have a low income ticket program that people can apply for. I've gotten my ticket through that every time. Before they raised the ticket by 50 bucks this year it was $250. The vast majority of the population of Black rock city aren't rich. Even paying full price, I know a ton of people who have done the event for under $700-$800.

Folks, we live in the Instagram world where people attend events solely for their instagram posts. These people are doing this to sporting events, concerts, theatre, resorts etc. They drive up ticket prices, don’t respect the long term attendees/fans, don’t respect norms, traditions and policy. They ruin the experience for others. Example, a 24 time Burner was asked to move so someone could take a picture of a piece of art. The Burner said no, you can’t take my enjoyment of this art away from me until I’m done. Anyone who knows anything about Burning Man is you leave no trace. The real burners stayed behind to clean up. The posers left.

@jamiesuejeffery 10 месяцев назад

I live in Reno, the gateway to the Playa where Burning Man happens. It makes me very sad that the 54,000 to 70,000 people left a complete mess out there. The, "Burners" (is what they are called) usually leave absolutely no trace behind. Honestly, two weeks after they leave, you can't tell where they have been.This is pathetic, shameful, and a complete disregard to the pristine desert.
