Except the Bureau of Land Management has to come in after to clean up the trash left behind. And people dump all their trash in Reno on the way out, many of them in such a hurry to leave that they don't even dispose of it properly. So I think Burning Man needs to reexamine some of their practices and "values".
Great Story. I have heard that the event organizers go to superhuman lengths to minimize the impacts on the surrounding wilderness and community. I'm sure that the garbage dumping in reno is more than offset by the massive influx of dollars by people buying supplies, eating, and playing.
In his list of five thoughts to live by in Burning man town, the guru left out the most important from what I saw.
Be strangely compelling. Again and again on the clip I saw images which you'd have to describe that way.

I'll be back with the URL for that night in a sec. Mike rubbo
Here's a URL worth looking at if you like Burning man events.
This is a music community, 40,000 people who come together for music at Woodford, Queensland, over new years.
The cluster of days, always ends with a night of fire and music, created by the guests at the festival themselves.
You'll have to wait a couple of minutes to get to the burning elements. But there's much which strangely compelling to see on the way, starting with fire kindled from friction . Mike Rubbo
