Clean-Up Plan

1) We plan to use materials for our campsite that lessen waste, and are recyclable or reusable.
2) We will avoid bringing small trinkets, flimsy paper, small feathers (boas) and glass bottles since they typically get left on the playa for others to clean up . - MOOP
3) We plan to set up camp in a way that is easy to keep clean .
4) We plan the breakdown/ clean up of our camp in detail, accounting for every board, stake and scrap., by packing in all the necessary tools for clean - up .

We hereby designate Dave Hossler as the camp LNT expert. He will ensure that our camp stays clean before, during and after the event. He will also be given the task of making our camp fun and spontaneous, yet clean . He will get help with the clean up from fellow BRC residents if and when it is needed. He will also take part in planning our purchases and encourage us to reuse / recycle / reduce. He will be there when it's time to take down and sweep our camp for every last trace and will make sure everything left goes with us.

To minimize our impact on the Playa, we will follow these rules:

-We pledge to Leave No Trace in and around our campsite, including our own and others waste.

-We will plan to put time aside for the clean up , and plan the assembly and takedown of our structures and decorations to simplify their removal.

-We will keep our recyclabes , burnables, and non-burnables separated for easier disposal, recycle our aluminum, and bring no glass to the Playa.

-We will clean as we go, realizing that any trash or MOOP(matter out of place) can blow away or be buried at any moment.

-We have assigned volunteers to check around camp daily for loose MOOP.

-We will take care of any trash left by our guests , invited or otherwise.

-We won't light fires on bare ground, leaving scars. If we must burn, we'll use a public burn barrel or burn platform and follow the safety guidelines for fires and burn scar prevention. We'll sweep up and haul out the ashes.

-We won't dig holes more than 6 inches in diameter or trenches, scarring the Playa.

-We will keep all items tied or weighted down, and leave papers at home.

-We will leave extra space in every vehicle on the way to the desert, knowing that repacking will inevitably take up more space. We will take all trash in sealed containers to a landfill on the way home. After clean ing our camp, everyone in our camp will devote at least two hours to the general city clean up (e.g. trash fence, local port-o-potties, café, etc).
We will pack out everything and we won't put any trash into the port-o-potties or leave any trash near the potties.

-To maximize our clean up we will each pledge ourselves to each spend 2 hours clean ing up the playa after our camp is clean ed up .

See you in a clean slate playa 2006!
