Comments on Abendigo's review of Burning Man
Burning Man
Description: Week long event in Black rock desert.
Burning Man green?
The time I went to Burning Man, I certainly enjoyed myself. However, it's the most unsustainable event I've ever witnessed -- thousands of people drill PVC pipes deep into the desert, which leech their toxins into the earth. Hundreds drive around in their tricked out party vehicles, spuming clouds of gas fumes into the desert. I think it's ironic that it's taken them 30 years to get a clue of having some green branding, when many of the artists and people who attend the Burn do think of themselves as environmentally inclined. Anyway, a green Burning Man for 2007 is an oxymoron. Setting up a 40K-person city in the desert over the weekend will never be green. Never. And quite frankly, it's too late for there to ever be a Green Burn.
