If your are new to our group we'd like you to take a moment and read them
so you understand how we socialize as a group.
-
First and foremost is the Leave No Trace ethic. Pack it in Pack it out and
clean up after your self. Leave nothing behind. Also we ask that you take the
time to look around and be prepared to clean up something some other burner
might have missed.
-
Respect other peoples property and that of their neighbors is an
absolute. Trashing someone's home during a gathering or tossing trash, cups,
bottles and cigarette butts on the ground or floor is a big No.
-
Use an ash tray and garbage can if the event is at someone's home. Or use
your own trash receptacle at a remote event and take it home with you.
-
Acceptance of other cultures and lifestyles is required. We celebrate the
differences between us but in the end we are all Burners. Individuality and
radical self expression is part of the culture of Burning Man.
-
Have respect for other peoples personal boundaries. No means No. Just
because someone is naked or partially so, does not mean they want to have sex
with you, or that they want "Touch". You must treat everyone with respect and
dignity even if we are silly looking and act weird.
-
Never Ever attempt to drive home intoxicated even if just slightly so. If
you have had too much to drink and need a place to sleep it off there is always
someone who can help you out or give you a ride home, just ask!
-
Violent behavior against others is not permitted. If you have issues with
someone leave the area or ask the hosts or event security to intervene and
resolve the dispute in a non violent way.
-
You must always ask if it is OK to take pictures or video of naked people
for personal and private use. You must never place those images on a public
website without their permission.
-
It is never OK to sell images or video of regional events. Or publish
images of our events without written permission of the event hosts, planers and
people photographed.
-
We practice a gift economy. Offering items and services for sale at regional
events is prohibited. Vending and commercial activity is not allowed.
-
No spectators, Participate don't Spectate. Create and share!
-
Refrain from creating cliques. Obviously we all have close Burner friends we
enjoy being with more than others. Include yourself, include others and you will
make life long friends. Remember at one point we were all Newbies.
