Leave No Trace is one of the most important principles of Burning Man 🔥 and therefore LAMPU. It implies not just leaving no traces behind - garbage in any form, this principle carries a deeper meaning and the organization of the life at the event itself. It is about feeling our immersiveness, involvement and responsibility for what we leave behind 🌸

The LNT team is responsible for organizing the sorting and removal processes of waste. The leaders and volunteers of the site will broadcast the rules of environmental friendliness to the participants and support them. Besides:

1️⃣ During building and dismantling days, participants must take all construction waste to a waste sorting site;

2️⃣ LNT volunteers will be on duty at the garbage collection points in shifts and will also monitor the overflow of the tanks and the absence of garbage in the event area as a whole. If you faced some problem with garbage on the event location, please kindly tell the LNT leaders about that so they could solve it ASAP;

3️⃣ If the location involves food, drinks, or just a large amount of garbage, then volunteers will organize an additional garbage collection point;

During the days of the event, each camp will have its own sorting bins with replaceable bags for organic waste - for food waste - and for everything that can be recycled - plastic, paper, glass ♻️ when these bins are full, the campers themselves must carry the filled bags to the garbage sorting site📍 Important: this is the responsibility of each camp. Spare packs will be given to camp leaders in advance. If your camp is lack of the packages at any time please immediately contact the LNT volunteers.

‼️ Important: when the event is over we will make a Moop map: each camp must make sure that there is no trace left in the camp area. After dismantling, you need to take a picture of your camp location and send the photo to the leader of Leave No Trace.

What should you have to be eco-friendly

Tell all the participants of your camp/art team/art car team!

🎪 Rules for camping

Please take the rules seriously! And if you don't understand something, contact the camp lead. We will answer you 🤝

🎯 What you should definitely do

  1. To convey eco-rules to all participants of the camp.
  2. Organize all the necessary amenities so that the camp participants observe eco-rules.

🌳 How to deal with trees

  1. Use ropes for fastening.
  2. Do not drive nails, staples and screws into living trees.
  3. Remove all nails, staples and screws from the trees before leaving.

How to properly leave the Lamp

  1. Make sure that your place remains as clean as it was before your arrival. Clean is without glitter, firebrands, nails, ropes on trees, garbage and other household waste.
  2. The leader of each camp must send a photo of the camp location to the LNT chat after dismantling
  3. Take all the garbage to the collection point of all the garbage 🙏

How to pull nails out of a bonfire

  1. With hands or magnets.
  2. A special nail collector. They are inexpensive, and you can scrap the nails.

🗺️ MOOP Map

According to the Burning Man tradition, after Lampu we will make a MOOP MAP. This is a map on which it is marked who cleaned up after themselves.

⚡ Pay attention! The camp's participation in further events depends on its color on the MOOP MAP.

What colors do we put on the map:

  1. Green — there are no traces or they are insignificant.
  2. Yellow — there is small debris or a bonfire is not buried.
  3. Orange — there is small debris or trash in the bonfire.
  4. Red — the playground has not been cleaned or the bonfire is completely in an unacceptable condition.

💩 MOOP — Meter Out Of Place

This is small garbage, a thing that has lost its purpose. Yesterday she was part of your costume or a stock of sparkling wine. Today it is a torn button or a champagne wrapper.

All this is a MOOP.

All this should not remain after us.
