Burning Man people pride themselves on being eco-friendly. But people in evil RVs go there.

I wonder what the carbon footprint of Burning Man is? How many greenhouse gases are released when they burn the dude at the climax? How many greenhouse gases are released by those who take the private jets to get there?

Do all Burning Man participants buy their carbon credits ahead of time, or do they calculate their footprint afterwards, and pay then? How does that work?

For $50.00 per carbon credit, I promise to plant trees to offset your blatant use of resources in your endeavor for true self reliance. I take Visa, MC, and Discover.

They also have their own airport, operational only for the length of the festival. I once considered flying in there and camping.
