Title: The six


1
The six Rs
  • RESPECT - RETHINK - REDUCE - REUSE - RECYCLE and
    RESTORE

2
Respect
  • In order to understand what it means to be a
    part of the solution, you have to begin with
    respect.  Respect for all things people,
    animals, bugs, birds, fish, snakes, rivers,
    lakes, oceans, trees, mountains, valleys andyou
    get the picture.  And when venturing to Burning
    Man, have respect for the Playa, for the Art, for
    all the other Participants for all of Black
    Rock City.

3
Rethink
  • Everything on Earth is connected, and every
    decision you make has an impact.  So rethink the
    things you bring with you and how you plan. 
    THINK before you buy "Where was this
    grown/made/manufactured? How far did it travel to
    get to the store? Under what conditions did the
    laborers work? Will its disposal be
    environmentally friendly? Is it sustainably
    created?"

4
Reduce
  • Reduce the amount of junk you send to the
    landfill.  Are you a good consumer or a good
    conservationist? Do you really need all the stuff
    you think you need? Combine trips to reduce
    driving emissions and save money too.  Replace
    disposable items (cups, plates, etc.) with more
    permanent solutions.  Make a game of it see what
    you can do to use fewer resources to get the same
    effect or outcome.

6
Recycle
  • If you simply cant find a new use, recycle
    everything possible.  While in Black Rock City,
    take your aluminum cans to Recycle Camp, and all
    the wood that you have left after the event to
    one the Burners without Borders Wood Reclamation
    Areas.  In 2007, all other recyclables may be
    taken to one of the many recycling dropoff points
    on your way home - check the Survival Guide for
    info on commercial centers (closed on Labor Day),
    or come by Recycle Camp for directions to the
    Reno Drive Through Recycling Project (free, 24
    hour recycling drop-off!) for burners the week
    after the event.  Learn about curbside and
    hazardous waste recycling programs in your own
    home community. 

7
Restore
  • Always "pay it forward" and do your part.  Try
    to make every place you visit a little bit nicer
    when you leave than when you got there. 
    Volunteer for restoration projects at Burning
    Man, year round in the Black Rock Desert and in
    your own home Community.  Be the change you want
    to see.  Be the solution.
