Last week, the Bureau of Land Management released a series of recommendations to the organizers of the Burning Man festival in Black Rock, Nevada, designed to address the annual event’s economic and environmental impact on the Nevada desert.
At first, the Burning Man organizers raged, vowing not to take BLM’s advice to heart — even though it seems they, themselves, solicited it — and refusing to adopt BLM’s recommendations, which included drive-up dumpsters at the entrance and exit to the festival, a temporary fence around the festival to keep garbage and other debris from blowing off into the desert, improvements to the festival’s water and sewage systems, and hiring independent security forces to keep Burning Man from becoming a target for terrorists.
