I have lived in northern Nevada for eight years, the amount of trash left in Black Rock and what they dump around Reno the days after Burning Man is over makes them seem a whole lot less climate conscious. I’ve seen piles of playa dust covered junk just dumped in streets and parking lots and RVs dumping directly into street gutters. Many Renoites will tell you similar stories, unfortunately.

I know it isn’t all of them, but there are plenty of them unfortunately.
