Hi all,
A burner friend of mine told me to post here and see what you all have been doing and maybe colaborate with all you on completely Greening BRC. My name is Karmalicious (I'm not on tribe a lot with all these other lists but can be...please feel free to email or call me kimgregory311@hotmail.com or 303-358-6935). I was just in charge of Greening our Colorado burn Apogaea and it went off sooooo great. We may have been the 1st regional to go as green as possible. I can for shizzle give yall a report if you would like and was gonna put something together for someone at the LLC. So we composted and recycled the entire event and saved sooo much from being dumped and really every perosn was amazed at how little trash they were packing out.
So I have always seen Aluminum recycle camp and the earth guardians at BM and great MOOP pick up afterwards by DPW and I know there is suppose to be how to green your life info and help the burn I just don't think it is very visible....but my vision as I'm sure is many of yours is to have complete on site recyling (plastic 1-7, glass, metal (DPW has requested) along with aluminum camps efforts, glass, cardboard and paper) as well as burnables promoted and on site veggie composting.
This is a huge task (a regional was hard as it was) I would love for enough people to get excited and come together and pool resources and make it happen this year but if it can't happen now then next year. I think with the funding and voluneteers and leadership it could. I am willing to take lead on it with help form those of you who know stuff....and I know you know lots. I can be out there a week before event and stay a week after. Colorado currently doesn't have a big art project going (but they are hard to motivate I will tell you right now...but they did love the green efforts at APO and maybe this will spark more). FYI we would need 50-75 volunteers and propbably 2-3 storage containers or semis to haul out. All metal money could go to the company hauling and or to the surrounding towns....as well as composters could be dontaed to Gerlach and a workshop could be done with thier farmers in town pre or p[ost event. I have many more ideas and what worked at APo and what did not. I know this sparks a self reliance debate but what I will tell you is people are lazy, they are even lazier when it is hot and they are partying and we need to make it easy and we need to help eliminate the waste that will be produced for our event if we do not have recycling and composting.
Love to you all
Karmalicious

Please forwARD THIS to anyone who may be able to help
