BLAST is a green camp rating system providing a structured framework for energy and resource efficiency. Mirroring the LEED certification, BLAST serves as the Burning Man counterpart, setting standards for sustainability in temporary spaces. By establishing a baseline for your camp, BLAST can guide your efforts and also qualify your camp for inclusion in the Green Corridor.

Once your camp has completed BLAST, the next year we'll invite your camp (if you desire) to join our experimental green neighborhood, 'The Green Corridor'.
In 2023 we had 10 camps join us, in 2025 35 camps.
