Burning Man bills itself as the biggest “Leave No Trace” event in the world. This means that after revelers have dismantled the geodesic domes, giant duckies, and steampunk ships that form their temporary city in Nevada, they get down on their hands and knees to scour the white alkaline sand for every last cigarette butt and sequin. But in the end, 80k people still leave a mark. “Sure, by October, there’s no trash left on the surface of the Black Rock Desert. But boy, are there a lot of traces.”
