Colorado Burning Man Community
Specific Greening to do & not to do @ APO & some more needs
Hey yall what a hard working weekend for the most of us at work weekend...and some good fun too...Man does the Gantry burn AWESOME!!! And the effigy looks great. From what I saw at work weekend we did Ok with recycling/greening...I couldn't really count all the trash bags leaving but hope it wasn't too much. I did see a lot of packaging (try and reduce for event) and decent amount of MOOP around HAR just from the 50 or so of us on sunday...including cig. buts, cans, and not just toilet paper in the porta potties (NO wet wipes/ tampons/ tampon inserters/ condoms)!!! Will remind you all again NO CIG BUTTS in Fires (trash only, if you don't have a pocket or forgot a sm. container there will be some extras at Green camp/if you have lots of extra little containers please bring to Green Camp). I know when you are doing small non-porta potty camping ya pee in the woods (best to do on a rock FYI) but we cannot promote this with event this massive... Hey we all no I aint PUUURFECT but you all are my influencers and Burners to set awesome examples for the masses!!! I know we can do this.
1. I need more cardboard boxes...needs expanded. Small ones are better (need 16 small and maybe 2 bigger ones)...stick in your car and drop off as soon as you get there to Green Camp...best if coming Wed/thursday....or can drop off today or tomorrow to Forest in denver with my truck.
2. Need more 5 gallon buckets with lids again do same as above
