1 - Appoint a 'Sustainability Lead' for your camp

🌱 Camps already have a Leave No Trace Lead. Imagine if they also had a Sustainability Lead.

This role is a powerful way to ensure your camp thrives responsibly, reduces its footprint, and sets the standard for others to follow. We’re calling on camps to make Sustainability Leads a permanent part of their roster.

2 - Join the GTCC Discord Server

🌍 The GTCC website is a great starting point—but it only scratches the surface

Real progress happens when we connect. That’s why the GTCC Discord Server exists: a dynamic hub where ideas spark, support flows, and sustainability projects come to life. It’s more than a platform—it’s a community built on shared knowledge and collective expertise.

3 - Apply to be a BLAST camp

🔥 BLAST isn’t just a rating system—it’s your camp’s roadmap to sustainability

Built as the Burning Man counterpart to LEED certification, BLAST sets the gold standard for energy and resource efficiency in temporary spaces. It gives your camp a clear framework to measure impact.

The BLAST Radius is transforming to the 2026 Green Radius Game.

4 - Black Rock Compost

🌱  Turn waste into Resource!

In 2025, Black Rock Compost celebrated a decade of transforming Black Rock City’s food waste into fertile, life-giving soil.

✨ Join the revolution by signing up for the Black Rock Compost Program. Every compost pile is more than waste—it’s a declaration that we can build a city that gives back to the earth.

5 - Join the Green Corridor

🌱 Join the Green Neighborhood 

Join our experimental green neighborhood, the Green Corridor. What started with just 10 pioneering camps in 2023 has already grown to 35 by 2025.

It’s about becoming part of a thriving community that’s redefining sustainability on the playa and supporting each other in the work.

6 - Best Practices from the Resource Guide

🔥 The Resource Guide is your green directory!

This dynamic open-source hub showcases projects designed to push toward a zero-waste, carbon-negative, and regenerative future. It’s a place to learn from the innovations of others, and just as importantly, to share your own best practices so every camp can rise together.
