Leave No Trace, Trash "MOOP" Hunt on Wednesday After Burning Man 2023
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2023
- Join me on my Onewheel for a 5 mile 15 minute hunt for any Matter Out Of Place, aka MOOP, aka trash. Spoiler alert: there's less trash in Black Rock City than in your city!! Don't believe me? Then you probably live in a wilderness preserve.
Do what we do here and Leave No Trace in your own neighborhood. Pick up trash and watch your block become a better place to live. You'll actually meet your neighbors and some of them will join you and start picking up trash too! That's how it works here and it can work that way in your neighborhood, sporting event, or church group also.
💚 Please like and subscribe!!! 💚
I went to Burning Man in 2004 when I was 23, and it was an amazing, insane experience! I didn't fully appreciate it until I was back home, but it was something that everybody should do at least once in their life. This years Burn has really re-awakened my memories, and I'm glad that people are still enjoying it to this day. Cheers!
You’ve open my eyes about what Burning Man is truly about. Thank you for that, sincerely. 🌱🌎
ye people do crycry much about this festival even if its one of the cleanest..but other festivals which trash everything nobody bats an eye..society is so mentally degenerated from probably media or so..
@@abcuughklkj I hear you 👏🏻👏🏻
@@franklinj1038 enjoy your day, sir
For what it is worth, thanks for cleaning up, sticking around and making a video.
very illuminating. good job
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR VIDS! Thank you for sharing them with us! Thank you for De-MOOPing The Playa!
Thank you...
Great message .. thanks for the update ❤
No gold???😂 Thanks for helping clean up….May God Bless you🙏🏼🍀👋🏼🇨🇦
I love it that most people are probably thinking he is looking for regular sized pieces of trash to pick up but in reality he is probably looking for micro sized pieces of moop as it usually is by the end of the event. Pretty amazing how there is no moop left stuck in what was wet mud.
Well done ...❤
Thanks for the follow up that is true.
Wise words at the end.
It’s interesting…while I was there my camp mates and I we’re picking up the tiniest pieces of fuzz left on the playa and I don’t think people realize how hardcore the cleaning there actually is. I just noticed a trail of abundant trash heading to the grocery store. I never noticed before. It’s pretty much everywhere and we’re so immune to it. BM teaches you to be more aware.
Attended the Burn in 2010 and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. So appreciative that you continue to capture everything and share with us. Much Love ! Subscribed ;)
Enjoy your content and commentary! The scenic tours on your Onewheel combined with your postive outlook on life are appreciated. Look forward to your future videos.
I saw where the orgy dome had a big turnout you might want to check for any trash left there!
You are awesome
Nice job…looked better than I expected…this from someone who takes a plastic bag with me on all my walks for trash…
Totally agree greetings from Costa Rica !! And loving on a country that is base on its natural resources is so importar to recall that we need to respect our environment, connect with our inner selves, be kinder, ❤❤
Thank you so much. I have been following burning man for years watch every video I can find. I knew that the news and the naysayers were wrong. Finally you have confirmed what I knew be couldn’t find anyone willing to show what your showing. Thank you so much!
Amazing the Playa dried out so fast. It really worked out well for those that stuck it out and stayed.
Thanks for the truth! ❣️
Thank you for showing the truth. We have not been to a burn for several years. It's nice to know the spirit is still the same!
Wonderful! Thank you! 👍👍👍
Great work. Just move in a dozen LA Homeless and watch it all turn to trash overnight.
And the point of your comment was...what exactly?
Party pooper! Can't stand to see other people enjoying themselves and having a good time and taking responsibility for the cleanup when it's all over. That trash along the highway? It will be picked up. Maybe not on your time schedule schedule which seems to be instantaneously.
How was the fence lines and the road leading in?
Thanks Mike, I appreciate the video and your candor. I also appreciate your suggestion that we can all do better in our communities in terms of taking care of them and making the effort to do better for the sake of bettering humanity.
Even if you just post content about BM and how you prep etc. - I would subscribe and watch that. Well done sir. 🎉
Thanks for sharing you rock.
Great video 👍 I've been burning since 2012. Missed being home 2020 and 2021. I couldn't be there this year (still wish I'd been there!) But I'll be back next year. The msm journalism scares away the tourists, but it also exaggerates and blew the situation out of proportion. I just tell folks, read the website & survival guide. Talk to experienced burners, be prepared. Come with an open mind and heart. See you back home next year 🔥)'(🔥
If you are there when they clean up the burn sites would you show how they do that? thanks for the videos. because of health issues I have not been able to go, but I have friends who go every year. I try to explain to people how the media gets it wrong. these videos have helped.
I understand they pick up the trash and dump it all on communities like Reno and other local cities, totaly overwhelming their resources. I would much prefer if they humped it all back home and dumped in the trash at their own home. Also the playa will never be as pristine as it would have been if the burners never came. Man changes things, no matter how he tries his activities disrupt the envitonment.
exactly right!!!!
Just go up the desert and next to the sand dunes. By black Rock you will find the trash the wind blows up there. They forget the wind is strong at times and always blows garbage up that way.
Thank you!!!! Imagine all the pollution soaking into the lake bed. These people claim to leave no trace, but it's far from the truth. But hey being high on drugs... how they gonna compute anything anyhow?
You are awesome , teaching positive change … I did not know what was going on at burning man 😮if that the message going to buy all my grandchildren a ticket when there 21 ..
Welcome to earth where everything has positive and negative.
I've got old memories from there, haven't been since 03 to 05. Need to go back, got things to burn.
"Time in the forest, to dig under rocks or float in the ocean, asleep in a box" -Phish
Mike, I literally just came in the door from my local park, after picking up trash their around benches, swings and plantings. - I was so excited to see your vid subject and saddled up to your bike for a ride when at 2:43 (front left) you biked past a dusty mucky old work grove. I couldn't help but watch to see if you biked over the mate! Nailed it ....
(3 secs later)not the mate, but something "Moopy" - Hey, it would be fun to do a live stream and try to find all the stuff your "eagle eye" missed. - Not a troll, just someone fresh and stinky from my local park picking up trash and sure I missed something too! But that glass cracked crack pipe under the park bench? It's in the trash where a dog or kid or granny won't step on it.
I was wondering if they needed volunteers to go in there to help clean up, but I guess not,
They are still accepting volunteers, must sign up on the website
LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!!
We have carnival in my country and honestly, this way is better where it is outside civilization so to speak. Otherwise, business here have to set up by putting up barricades around their buildings days beforehand otherwise, they would have paint and glitter sploches everywhere. If you look at the pavements, you can see permanent drill holes embedded so that the barriers can be put up and down every year. Then it takes days for it to get taken down. So the parade routes look like a boarded up shanty town until it is over. haha
And if you live on or near streets that are used for the parades, (I do), it means that driving in or out of your place is a usually a no-go. Since it is only for two days, it isn't too much of a problem but it can be inconvenient. But there have been instances of people romping on people's cars parked on side streets and homeowner's walls being defaced. And then of course, persons really close to the action have to deal with piss smells despite the presence of porta potties. I mean, think about the movie Rio and the carnival as portrayed and really think about what living inside that actually means when a substantial proportion of the participants are pissing drunk. lol.
Clean up is work - the officials here start promptly at midnight when it is officially over and do a great job sweeping and washing down the streets and gathering discarded costumes. Of course, they also have persons doing trash pickup throughout. But as the years pass, routines develop.
How u guys going to sort the rubbish that was stepped into the mud and is no longer visible?
There was very little not already picked up before the rain. Most people pick up any trash we see as we go along, so it stays clean until the last weekend when all the weekend warriors show up and make their mess. They couldn't get in this year and the rain happened before they arrived, so much less mess.
I really appreciate this video. It’s true there are issues for waste and sustainability gaols being met - we all have to participate in MOOPing - however, eapecially after the biblical floods you’ve all experienced this year; thank goodness it passed, it’s heartwarming to see my home in the dust be returned to it’s natural state by solid burners such as yourself. Thank you for doing this clean up and sharing your / buringman core message to us all here in the default world! Your right. Clean your own home and community first and share in your journey with your neighbours. Here’s to the greater community of this pale blue dot. We can collectively come together with love and compassion for our spaceship amongst the stars! Peace brother burner x
Self-righteous commenters who have never attended this event and are smugly spewing negativity : When you point a finger at someone three point back at you. Do you Not make ANY rubbish yourself, daily?! If you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem. Rubbish is a global problem everywhere- have you ever seen the beaches of Bali? At least here in Black Rock Desert there are massive collective efforts to remove rubbish. I mooped my camp at our strike on Tuesday morning, and I also mooped the porta potties at 8:30 & G as best as I could, and I also mooped our neighbors’ camps after their strikes. Every little bit helps.
I only watched a couple min and seen large tarps, bicycles, storage boxes still there ????
They're still breaking down the larger installations, and those boxes will be removed by larger trucks. Complete breakdown takes over a month, including Earth Guardians gridding off for systematic cleanup of anything larger than a flake of glitter. People cannot expect instant cleanup with such a huge event.
Bikes? Yes. People lose them on the playa at night. They cannot find them again in the mornjng. The diameter of the Playa is 2 miles. Quite easy to misplace your bike. And yes, some people leave derelict bikes. Burning Man staff go through and pick them all up. Some are refurbished and recycled locally. This is not new, nor unexpected. People are people in the end, aren't they, and some won't wear masks, or clean up after themselves?
And I watched through carefully. If you enlarge the video, you will see that what you thought was trash (I did too at first) is actually powder drifts of Playa dust. It looks like rags on the ground as he skims by.
1000 bucks a ticket? Nope.❤😂
Fantastic ❤😊
What happens to extra bicycles? Maybe this rain will keep wimps out next year.
So glad to see that the ‘moop’ situation not as bad as some have implied … reported. Thanks for sharing .. great perspective you are sharing 💫
Where's all the piles and piles of trash the main stream media keeps talking about..
Plenty of MOOP past the PLAYA in the U.S. from Burners
All the items look to have a story that does not have any malicious origins, except the headlight box, and I bet it has a non-malicious story. Nobody threw that stuff down on purpose.
Maybe not too much moop but def some abandoned bikes
I saw quite a few bikes seemingly abandined...isn't that MOOP?? Not mentioned once on video. Just asking as I'm not a hater of BM. But I know every year that's an issue.
Check my channel; I made a few shorts showing and talking about the bike problem
I am loving these videos from people and not the Main Stream Media. Great job !
More to come!
Didn't know there was a attendance limit.
When I want to get away, I don't want to be around crowds and hear lowd music I experance that just going to town.
Glad you showed some.
But you know and I know there is a lot of hidden small trash hidden inside the mud from being ran over that will never be found until next rain event after everyone has long packed up and gone.
I seen a couple of pieces of trash you rode by and didn’t pick up.
But I get it. They’re still ppl there and a lot of work still to do.
But compared to other burns,this one has a higher probability of hidden trash being under mud than any previous burn.
Did you see any of the 3 eyed shrimp
When are they gonna bring out the metal detectors?
It’s all about money.
I can't stand when people litter...it really bothers me when people desecrate ...most earth
I dont think anyone is making fun about the normal burnner. You know the people that take the Tennant's seriously. Its the people that left early leaving all their stuff behind. Those people need to be laughed at.
@@charlottebowes7666 ok, i think shaming by humilating humor is better than violence. Fines work too.
@@charlottebowes7666 not following you. Perhaps, I should make myself clearer. I was more commenting on the people that abandoned personal property to leave. Not, necessarily the people that left early. Also my default would to lightly joke around while giving a small dose of humility. I thought packing out was a tennant of burning man?
@@charlottebowes7666 Whatever dude.
For an event that welcomes the odd person with open arms you seemed to have attempted to ostrisize me based on age, packing out comment and for seemingly being petty. I wonder, were you a person that left stuff behind? Im not trying to be a dick. Why are you being one?
@@charlottebowes7666 If everyone at burning man have your attitude im glad ive stayed away as long as i have. Thanks for confirming my thoughts on the subject.
what a stupid priveliged event...was hoping the rains would have stranded alot of ya'll
Why comment something so ignorant and mean. F off if you don’t like Burning man.
Why would you care? As the gentleman in the video points out, perhaps look after your own backyard. What did Jesus say? About criticizing your neighbor but never yourself, huh?
I don´t believe this video at all.
Trash flew away for 10 days, but because you can´t see it then it doesn´t matter anymore, I will do my blind search in this ´´mini-area´´ and go back home happy pretending I´m sooooooo ´´ECO´´
I don't know why you don't believe someone who was there and instead believe the lies of those who have an agenda to divide our country. I can't make you believe what I'm showing and really don't care if you do, but you can read the report put out after Restoration is completed and if the event happens again next year, there is your proof.
Meanwhile let's see what your neighborhood looks like and how ECO you and your neighbors are. Are you even pretending, or just looking for problems elsewhere to make yourself feel better about the trash that is all around where you live that no one ever picks up?
That’s not your house. It’s an echo system and creatures live there. The playa is torn up and has been disturbed. And public tax monies have been used . Your literally showing the turned up lake bed.
Eco, not echo. But I agree with you.
EXACTLY!!!!
All contraire the organisers pay a hefty sum for the use of the public lands, which belong to all of us, I might add. Unlike your friends The Bundys who want to graze their cattle on public lands for free.
It's our public land being used according to the law and rules for public access and recreation set forth by the Bureau of Land Management and the permit granted. It isn't managed as a wilderness area without public access. But I encourage you to write to your federal representatives and start campaigning if you want them to change the rules for public recreation there.
Why don't you show the sides of the roads homie. There is ton of trash that is left on the sides of the roads that you won't show. This show is over I will bet anyone
Check my channel for my video on the way out. Very little trash, less than any typical highway.
Try and do better. Everyday happiness will find you..... the whole darn video was talking about feces and garbage.....I don't get it and that bring me happiness
lovely and beautiful
3:39 OH BULL SHIT!
I’d like to become a member of the church in which has beer at the picnic 🧺 🍺
Me too. I was thinking I’ve never been to a church picnic with beer
