attn : all Raisins
These are just a few of the greening methods already in place at Raisin Camp this year :
A low water use kitchen and dishline in central area with water/wastematter reclamation (used for larger functions, personal pod kitchens encouraged ) .
A compost dehydration field (accepting compost from pod kitchens as long as people pack out at the end ) .
An organized recycling station with separated aluminum/glass/burnables/metals/plastics .
Solar electric power generation with deep cycle marine batteries/charge controller/low draw incadecent and LED lighting for central areas .
What we(raisin camp) need is for someone(or a group) to build a VERY LARGE shower water evaporation pan (2x4s , square or other shape , lined with BLACK heavy-type plastic) large enough to accomodate the runoff from 30 showers daily and still evaporate effeciently . It has been done before , plans exist on the BM web site . The camp that hosts the after-party for critical tits has one that works for 200 people .
everybody , please dialog/colaborate on the greening of Raisin Camp and any wishes and dreams for improvements .
respect , Adam

A simple field kitchen can be made in the following manner :
a piece of plywood of small table size(or a table with removeable/foldable legs)on which you arrange a stove and cutting board for food prep and cooking . A wind screen made of a cardboard box with one side cut away is usefull if your stove doesn't have one integrated into its design . Depending on the size of your Pod and what you plan to cook up , this basic
plan can be expanded and elaborated on to maximize comfort and ease of use .
A time -tested dishline can be made in the following manner : Three(up to5 even)buckets arranged in a line , the 1st contains soapy water , the 2nd is the rinse , the 3rd is a final BLEACH or IODINE or GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT water rinse . Seperate scrubie-sponges in each bucket allows for water changes less often ( necissary to maintain good suds in the soap bucket) .The steralizing/germicidal
last rinse is vitaly important so that sickness and fecal/oral contamination doesn't get in the way of everyones Playa fun . The more additional rinse buckets that are added to the dish line , the cleaner the dishes come out . After the final rinse, dishes can air dry in the dessert
sun, further sterilizing them by exposure to UV radiation . If you store your dishes upsidedown, less playa dust gets on them to season your next meal . The dishline buckets also are great at the end of the event for taking away your share of the trash/compost that
couldnt be burned . Bringing extra trash bags is always a good idea, they are very usefull. All of this is common sense stuff and I only put it out so that people feel empowered in the atonomy of their own Pods . Please network with your Pod members so that you dont duplicate each others efforts.
