    How much more can we do to destroy the environment?

    How about driving for miles, to stay in an inhospitable place, cooking on fossil fuels, running generators, and having a huge bon fire?

    We humans are so selfish and short sighted.

        People are people and we are people. There’s no distancing ourselves from how our species behaves, however much we try to mitigate our own impacts.

        I mean he is not wrong, that is exactly what we do when we go camping during holidays and have a barbecue

          No. Burning man is so much more wasteful and abusive to the environment than campers are. The working class can follow the campsite rules, the owning class knows they don’t have to.

      I very much appreciate the “we” perspective, thanks. I’ve snickered at Burning Man for decades, and think it’s indicative of everything wrong with humans, but I’m not an innocent bystander. None of us are.
