Burning Man is a Leave No Trace event so we have implemented a Leave No Trace plan.

Whiskey and Dust is primary goals for participation is providing Yoga and other healing services. Between 20 and 25 camp mates will make this happen, for 40 to 80 “yogie” guests.

Whiskey and Dust has for over the past 3 (and beyond as the Mile High Club) years been in the “Green” on past events MOOP maps. Our systems works and there is no excuse for it not working in the future. I addition to this we are planing on recycling as many Bicycles as possible from bikes left on the playa after the event. Last year alone 8 additional bikes were removed from the playa. (yes, the owners did “gift” us the bikes) Not sure how it is possible to bring a bike in, but not be able to bring it out.

Whiskey and Dust team members will read the Event Survival guide on the Burning Man website and follow suggestions to minimize trash and MOOP. Each team member is responsible for keeping common areas clean and immediately removing MOOP. And spending Two hours minimum cleaning up after other fellow burners MOOP.

Burnable trash will be collected in a paper box in the kitchen and will be burned. Aluminum, As well as all other recyclables, will be collected in a bag in the trailer and will be taken to Denver Colorado Recycling program (BRC Aluminum only recycling program is inadequate for our needs, and the needs as a whole. More items can and will be recycled). Each team member is responsible to collect and package of their own non-burnable and non-recyclable trash, Most of this trash will be disposed of at the R.V. Park (Desert Rose) in Fernily Nevada (for a minimal fee). Desert Rose is also conveniently the same as the storage unit for our gear for next year.

Also Trash bags will always be carried inside a car, truck, or trailer. Bags will never be tied to the out side of any vehicle, As it seems to trash the road from BRC to I-80.

Shower and other gray water will be dispersed through two evaporation ponds. Camp members are expected to limit showers to the absolutely necessary and retain empty jugs to carry home any gray water that does not evaporate. Last year we successfully tested the new "Gray B Gone" wind powered evaporation machine. We figured around 20 gallons a day was evaporated. Stop by to learn more.

We will have volunteers for MOOP Patrol and will walk the camp once a day to make sure the Leave No Trace plan is effective. After packing up camp to leave the Playa, we will walk the entire area to eliminate even the smallest pieces of MOOP that may remain. As always, Weasel the camp leader, will take full responsibility as well as accountability for any short comings with the LNT plan.

Whiskey and Dust feels, in regard to “radical self-reliance”and “radical responsibility”, comes “Radical Accountability”. If a theme camp is incapable of cleaning up after it's self then said theme camp should not be allowed to be a theme camp. A five page document titled “sample LNT plan” does not clean up trash, but People do. Any good organization should be able to reward success and condemn failure.
