#NBCNews #BurningMan #Nevada
It’s all good! No traces of plastic straws, thus far.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
But what about the environment?
Cancel next years burning man.
The earth has been ravaged
“Oh the humanity!”
What happens in Burning Man stays in Burning Man, l suppose
Burning man……sounds satanic. What would you expect
I am shocked! Just speechless!
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure… I wish I was closer😅
Democrats.
Hipsters
You pack it in, you pack it out. Any vehicles are registered in their home states so those people can be fined for abandoning their vehicles. Maybe they should do away with Burning Man.
bye bye burning man
Burn it all
Find the 1200 missing children from Maui !!!
These people supposedly care about the planet. 🤭
To bad this story is on a unreliable news station. NBC or Nothing But China is not a station that people watch much😔
Looks like fun
99% of them are liberals…
The people that do the burning man religious show usually clean up for weeks afterwards, so this is not uncommon they should get most of it cleaned give them some time. Then see how it looks.
No thanks 🤨
Maybe next year called “Flooding Man”?
Say what? Human beings leaving trash? 😂of course they will!
While I’ve never been to one, I bet the early years of Burning Man saw much more responsible campers.
lets judge people who left trash even though of they took it at the time they might of died. very clever
For almost $600 a ticket the organizers need to clean it up…
Who makes the real money for this event?
It couldn’t be any different then what happening on top of MT. Everest with bags of poop pee and dead fully clothed body’s.
Even Burning Man, like all things It becomes all about the $$$
Entitled narcissist pigs
God don’t play!
Now the Media wants the gov to shut everything down and go to a Prison Lock down for ALL but the most Elite and their Media Minions.
It is what it is and it ain’t, nobody knows anything about this mystery, “I know” is false…
Is this some type of cult??
NBCIA fake news
@ 1:20 leave no trace? Trace of evidence? Baggies? I see the difference now 😂Overlanders would say “leave the place better then you found it.”
Absolutely disgusting and disturbing
Trash leaving trash.
They’re not called dirty hippies for nothing 🤷🤮🤷
Liberalism = please find a cure.
The fool says there is no God.
It was the most amazing burn, don’t listen to the news it’s fake
The problem with our environment is all man-made
People also leave their messes all over the shorelines of ocean resorts and it gets washed out to sea everyday and for 50 years now.
Only Trust in Jesus Christ not Man Worship Idol. Online. Divine Revelation
Bunch of weirdos.. why couldn’t it just STAY flooded?
He’s right. If they’re gonna leave crap laying around then they shouldn’t be there anyway. The vehicles left there, I’m sure people are going to return to get those once the rest of the traffic is out of the way..but like blankets and stuff laying in the mud..they couldn’t just bend down and pick that up?
I would imagine that there are people who will be back for their vehicles when they can move them.
Others will become salvage.
Why would somebody drive 3 hours to the desert just to pretend to be poor? Then drive 3 hours back? No wonder the billionaires take their personal jets. As for myself, I’ll be unhappy being poor right where I am, thank you very much.
15 minute city lovers hate cleaning up…
Looks like a good way to lose a permit for the event in the future.
Hypocrites leaving stuff behind and just driving away. I’m going to take a wild guess and say that 90+% of people going to this festival are “green people”, no you are not. You are hypocrites!
Its gonna be a ” Thing” to do every year for the new wanna be in crowd. Nope, it will never be like it was.
Sooooo, what’s the problem. Sincerely, Woodstock.
People defecate on the streets of our Democrat run city’s, rob ,and loot , this will be cleaned up by the people.
Leave no trace when your stuck ankle deep in mud.
😂😂😂😂What did you expect?
Assign spaces(put up a deposit)….when you leave your space clean & trash free you get your deposit back…..that simple!😂😂😂😂
Polluting the Desert
Time to end burning man-it’s a scourge
If it’s one thing these people don’t do is clean up after themselves.
Gotta love how the medua paints this mess as “escaping a storm”.every burning man ever has been a horrific mess to c k ean up.every person that attends these are hipocritical lying garbage.burning man was supposed to celebrate the planet….but burners are humen garbage oxygen is waisted on all you burners.i personally have seen the contamination the trash, the pollution the burning man is a display of how uncaring and hipocritical you enviro trash are….
🔥🤡✌🏼🔥🤡✌🏼#Burning_Clowns_2023 💯💯
“#ECO” Leftism on display 🔥🤡🔥
Yes, they say they were suppose to leave no trace. I remember watching another YouTube channel a couple of years back and they investigated the property after it ended. They found trash everywhere. It seems they even tried to hide it. This festival is a joke.
If I lived near there, I’d want to go scavenge the area for stuff left behind. All those camping supplies would be a nice find.
You would probably have to sift through the poop, $ex toys and garbage.
Green leftist hypocrites. Nothing new.
this is what Democrats do, make a big mess and others gotta shovel up all their s*it.
It was a great burn before it rained well the burn of the man happened after it started raining. Maybe should have said it was a great party before it rained.
The ones pushing the climate change environmental hoax left behind a giant environmental disaster.
Humans are the worst thing to happen to our planet.
Nah just hippies
Aren’t most of these people Greta Thunberg “worshippers”? “Hypocrites” is more like it.
They leave a mess every year
Blessings & Life, hopefully you are well. Please stay strong. My prayers are with you & your family. Dirty cops are a very real thing. But please know we are out numbered by ignorance. It will always be stupid people so thank you for handling everything with grace. It’s funny until it happens to them. But I would love for Dr. Rashad Richie to post this on Indisputable. God bless & peace Yes we do support you & any injustice is too many!!!
That’s what yal get. GOD obviously does not like your festival whatsoever. This wasn’t weather related it was GOD related
Doesn’t surprise me at all. Look at the beaches after spring break!! Americans have always been the most hypocritical on Environment. Laziness and lack of understanding. They bash Canadian forestry and oil & gas industry. It’s incomprehensible!!! Look in your own backyard!!!
People stay after and clean it up..do they share that.part
I feel bad for the Chryslers but most especially the people. So much property gone. Its such a shame.
Narcissism masquerading as creativity. self absorption gone berserk. environmental destruction on an industrial level. an event that is the very definition of hypocrisy and cultural degradation. they have one thing right, burning man, an apocalyptic conflagration to cleanse the defilement of America.
It’s always the same with these liberal left types. Every protest or gathering they have leaves an ocean of trash that someone else has to clean up. My favorite is when all of the climate change cry babies do it. Oh the irony!
What do you expect with democrats. Ban the entire event as bad for the environment. Oh, i thought i heard that the event years past caused an outbreak of herpes around 30K contracted the virus including children. How can that be.
The burning man remains me of the movie, Wicker Man. Who was inside the burning man?
Looks like Independence Day!
I am a festival goer but I leave nothing behind. Always carry trash bags for each person in your squad. I can’t tell you how many times I have held on to food containers and cups til I found a trash can. If you bring it with you, it leaves with you. My squad and I have stayed behind to pick up as well. Some people are there for the wrong reasons and make us look bad. Please don’t do that.
The mud couldn’t be more appropriate for the disgusting pigs that attend the ritual.
Wow !😢
I went in 2000 maybe? 16,000 participants and about $300 to set up an installation. It was a great time but 70k people? The portapots then crowned the rim, i cant evet imagine with that much humanity.
Stop letting it happen
If I paid over $500 for that lousy ticket I would feel like a fool picking up that trash. For that kind of cash you can budget trash removal.
Masha Allah. Jazakumullah khair for the inspirational khutbah
Everyone’s an Earth lover until they have to bend over and deal with their garbage bag.
Way to completely omit the role of the environmentalist wingnuts blocking the road out in all of this. Because NBC is fake operation Mockingbird news.
Such a hypocrisy. Environmental destruction caused by a lot of so called environmentally concerned peoples. How about stop this self indulgence.
At least some folk are cleaning up. Like the guy said “real burners” vs a pile of self obsessed sh#t c#nts.
I wonder how many just took a cr#p in that mud. Fun find. 🤮
Either shut it down or charge admission To enter. To help pay cleanup
Here’s the thing, do folks really expect these attendees to have taken their trash with them when they left even some of their belongings behind. These folks were stranded, and I’m sure under ordinary circumstances they would have taken their belongings with them but these were not ordinary circumstances. I mean these people just had to get out of there the best way they knew how with or without their belongings.
WERE THEY HAVE HONORED THEIR God while burning below thy heavens. By Wesley Frazier YST MEMBER
no suprised what did you think ws going to happen
The truth is these people are worthless and dont care about the very country they live. With that said the organizers of this pathetic charade profited money from this disaster and they should be heavily find everyday it is not cleaned up
It wasnt the disaster the news made it out to be.
Everyone hunkered down, cooked and offered food to the masses, and enjoyed the community.
Those who left trash are the type who do every year but dont have quite the media coverage.
It will be cleaned up as it always is.
Still not an excuse for those folks to leave garbage fyi.
