@BethTerry @LindseyElisePetersonPope It’s been a while, and I have a couple of friends who go, but I’m pretty sure it was my friend Kim Russo.

I heard about your blog from a friend who was talking about your class at Burning Man!

Wow. It was just wow. Will be figuring out how to express the awesome power and inconsistencies of Burning Man. I think that for someone who cares passionately about the environment to enjoy Burning Man, you have to have a serious ability to compartmentalize or accept contradictions. Apparently, I do.

Too little too late but you also want to bring your own bowl, fork, plate, and cup for spirited drinks and free food people give out! An aluminum prep bowl works pretty well for this, along with an old peanut butter jar or something (lids are your friend).

Also, one of the camps that gives away sno cones used corn plastic! Still has issues, I know, but is burnable and BPA free!

@BethTerry @LornaS The standard advice is not to bring produce, but I found that if you prepare your fruits and vegetables for longevity like you would for the fridge (I think you posted about this once?) you can store them in your cooler and they’ll be fine. It’s very important to check on your ice frequently and keep your cooler in the coolest part of your camp. I’d get a bag of ice from artica almost every morning.
The most important things for my survival, in order of importance, were: shade structure over my tent, know where the med tent is, water/food/electrolyte tablets, spray bottle, insoles, both day and night goggles, pee funnel and bottle.

I love the styles of Burning Man participants! They look like they emerged from the movie “Waterworld…” without the bloodthirsty cravings for water and violent hobbies. Are you going to get all plastic-free dolled up? Or you could make a bra out of Tupperware and have a water bottle headdress! Super chic. What an exciting adventure and a great place to inform listening ears about plastic waste. –Also, I’m loving your book and am advertising it on my blog. In Barnes and Noble, it was found perched on the same shelf as Homesteading/Survivalism. Seems a bit appropriate, don’t you think? Have a super time at Burning Man!
