Leave No Trace

LEAVE NO TRACE ON THE SITE
LEAVE WITH TRACES OF EACH OTHER IN YOUR HEART

Anything you bring, leaves with you

This is one of the most important principles to follow during BBB. As the event is co-created by all of us. It’s up to each of us to make sure that the site is left just as it was found, or better! So don’t “gift” your unwanted costumes, food, drinks or sheets to the location! Take them with you.

LNT Preparation

Leaving No Trace starts when you are packing. Do any of the items you want to bring have extra packaging that you can remove beforehand? Can you bring food and beverages that have very little packaging? (Tip: aluminum cans are much lighter and smaller to carry than glass bottles when empty!) Does anything have pieces that might break easily, or drop small pieces like beads, sequins, or feathers? Although dropping these things is not intentional, we are still responsible for it. It’s better to leave those things at home so the mess isn’t created in the first place.

  • Make sure to bring a sturdy metal or plastic cup that you can wash and reuse throughout the event. 
  • If you smoke, please bring a small portable ashtray for your ash and cigarette butts. Mint tins work great for this purpose.
  • Plan how you will organise with your roommates to ensure your room is left clean and clear of any trash at the end of the event
  • As far as possible Please take your personal trash with you either to recycling points in Alcover or home.

During the event

While on site you should ensure that all of your trash, including cans and bottles end up in the correct containers at the central recycling point. It will be the personal responsibility of each member of each bedroom to make sure that at the end of the event the room is cleared of trash and any personal belongings.

Sunday is Strike day

Sunday morning will be a time for fun, sunshine, friendly faces as well as a time dedicated to ensuring the site is in the same or better condition as it was when we arrived. 

  • Sunday after breakfast is the beginning of strike. More hands make the load lighter!
  • Please empty your rooms of trash and take to the central collection/recycling point. 
  • MOOP sweep your room and accommodation block
  • MOOP sweep communal areas

*MOOP = Matter out of place 😉 (litter)
