Please forward to any lists that may be appropriate and inclined to
help. We really need lots of folks to make this work, or just a
handful of really dedicated peeps. I can envision some theme camp
setting up for the day, wearing costumes and providing information on
where appropriate trash facilities are located. Wouldn't this message
be best delivered in person by a tattooed biker wearing a tutu?

WHAT: help at rest stop during Exodus
WHEN: right after the burn until Monday night
We need some dedicated volunteers to help educate participants about
the importance of Leave No Trace at the I-80 rest stop in Wadsworth.
Last year during exodus participants left mucho trash at the rest stop.
This year NDOT is threatening to make Burning Man pay a financial bond
before the event to ensure that the rest area will not get trashed. We
need to convince NDOT that we can educate our community NOT to dump
trash at the rest stop.
We're looking for a team of volunteers working in shifts to patrol the
rest stop during Exodus and remind participants that leaving trash here
is unacceptable. We're also looking for one or two people to oversee
this project with respect to scheduling shifts, etc. We need
volunteers from Saturday evening after the burn through Monday night.
Ideally we'd like to have 8-hour shifts with two people each shift.
Are you planning to leave the event early? Got a few hours to spare
before completely returning to the default world? Interested? Pretty
please, would you like to help? Contact ray@burningman.com. Thanks!
