Join BLAST 2026: Play the Green Radius Game (Deadline: Aug 17)
(aka BLAST)
Overview
Overview
The Green Radius Game (formerly known as BLAST: Burner Leadership Achieving Sustainable Theme Camps) is a green rating system designed to incentivize and recognize sustainability efforts at the camp level. If you’ve heard of LEED for green buildings, think of this as the Burning Man equivalent.
Green Radius 2026 Application
Green Radius 2026 Application
Our 2026 system looks and "plays" radically different than before— but it's the same thinking and purpose underneath. We hope it's easier and more fun to play. We recommend that the Sustainability Lead or Camp Lead fill out the form. If that’s not you, please forward it to the appropriate person.
Signage Deadline: August 17th. You're still welcome to submit an application for your camp after the deadline, but it might not appear in printed signage.

How the game works
How the game works
Camps submit a green radius game application in order to track their progress in 6 different focus areas: Food, Power, Shelter, Transportation, Waste, and Water. Our team of volunteers visits a select group of green theme camps to document their efforts.

What happened to BLAST?
Nothing's disappearing; it's evolving. The Green Radius is BLAST in a more playable form: same six-area framework, same goals. You're still measuring your camp's "blast radius," just with a wheel instead of a worksheet. All the original BLAST guidance lives on in the Resource Guide below.
