Create a 'Sustainability Lead' for your camp:

Most camps have an Leave No Trace Lead- but what about a Sustainability Lead? We're encouraging camps to make this a regular position on their rosters. It's simple to start.

A few things a sustainability lead can do are:

Join the GTCC Discord Server

While the GTCC website is a helpful resource, it’s by no means exhaustive.
The GTCC Discord Server is a space to share ideas, seek support, and collaborate on sustainability projects, helping us learn from each other and build on our collective expertise.

Implement Best Practices from the Resource Guide

The Resource Guide is a dynamic, open-source resource directory of projects created for Burners, by Burners, to help propel Burning Man towards a zero-waste, carbon negative, and regenerative future. Either learn from what others have shared, or document your best practices to help other camps learn.

Sign up your camp for BLAST

BLAST is a green camp rating system providing a structured framework for energy and resource efficiency. Mirroring the LEED certification, BLAST serves as the Burning Man counterpart, setting standards for sustainability in temporary spaces. By establishing a baseline for your camp, BLAST can guide your efforts, and also qualifies your camp for inclusion in the Green Corridor.

Consider joining the Green Corridor

Once your camp has completed BLAST, the next year we'll invite your camp (if you desire) to join our experimental green neighborhood, 'The Green Corridor'.

In 2023 we had 10 camps join us, in 2024 20 camps.
