Burning Man has broken down their environmental effort into three areas;
solid waste, materials and energy. Here is some news to use:

SOLID WASTE
1) Used wood will be reused by Habitat for Humanity. Donation stations are at 3, 6, 9 along the Esplanade
2) Don't pee on playa. It's toxic and you can get a ticket for doing so. This year they are adding blue and green blinky things to help you find the porta-potties.

MATERIALS
1) Bring your own cup to the cafe!
2) Buy biodegradable, if you have to use disposable (ie spudware)
3) DON'T BRING PLANTS (Creates impossible moop and will be confiscated at gate)
4) Choose cans over bottles, reusable containers over both.
5) Leave excess packaging at home or better buy products with minimum packaging

ENERGY
1) Network with neighboring camps and share generator power!
2) Visit coolingman.org and donate $10 to plant a tree in order to remove 1 ton of carbon dioxide from the air
3) Ride share: tribes.tribe.net/beb7d5ed-...f7d7713758
