Burners Without Borders

 Burning Man stands as an unparalleled living laboratory for community building, challenging participants to erect a functioning society under the extreme conditions of the Nevada desert. This temporary city, home to 120 people, demands a collective effort to provide essential services such as shelter, food, water, and waste management. It's a testament to human ingenuity and cooperation, offering valuable lessons in sustainability, self-reliance, and the power of volunteerism. The harsh environment  demands creativity, adaptability, resilience, and a profound commitment to collaboration, making it an ideal setting to forge and test innovative solutions for sustainable living and cooperative community dynamics. 

“Well it seems to me, that all real communities grow out of a shared confrontation with survival. Communities are not produced by sentiment or mere goodwill. They grow out of a shared struggle. Our situation in the desert is an incubator for community.” - fouder, Larry Harvey
