This looks nice, but Burning Man’s “Leave No Trace” reputation doesn’t seem to hold up when you look at what is actually left behind. This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoOd0It_1Tc) reports trash dumping in Reno and along the highway, burn scars and soil damage left on the playa, a cleanup that leaves debris visibly behind and an inspection process that borders on corrupt.

Additionally, the people behind the camera are being intimidated and harassed on public grounds, even though the permit to close the had expired. Even the local police seems to ignore this fact and just do whatever they are told by the Burning Man crew.
