Respect, rethink, reduce, reuse, recycle, and restore: 6 R of Burning Man

“Recycle” has been such simplistic inside-the-box dogma, fashionable discussion hardly broaches two other, less energy intensive, less expensive, and less sexy “reduce” and “reuse”. But to think 3 Rs suffice may be itself thinking inside-the-box. To break outside and live sustainably requires changing not just practices, but also mindsets, and this calls for more Rs: “respect”—understanding what it means to be part of the solution; “rethink”—if you think outside the box, think again; and “restore”—pay it forward.
