    I don't believe that Burning Man is destructive.

    But it is. A lot of energy is consumed just getting people there, resulting in a lot of emissions. A lot of stuff is burned that shouldn't be, in spite of attempts to prevent it. What about a festival that's inherently creative? I guess that's not as fun as setting shit on fire.
