This is my 5th Bonnaroo, and something I've noticed over the years is an increase in people's ignorance of their own trash. My first year at this farm people would scold you for throwing your cigarette butts on the ground. I found it very enlightening and it was the thing I loved most about my Bonnaroo experience. Last year, I saw people throw trash on the church grounds that are surrounded by fence. It made me sick and was the thing I hated most about Bonnaroo.
Now I'm sure there have been other posts similar to this, at least I hope there have. But I just wanted to throw out another reminder because I truly love this cow farm we are blessed to be able to visit. Try to help keep bonnaroo clean.
Thanks all, and can't wait to party with you Timarooooo
::puffs cig:: ::flicks it in a trash bin:: its really not that hard to keep clean. Last year I was putting my cigs out and sticking them in my cargo pocket. and we just did little clean up everyday just before we started drinking. The big black trash bags are key.
if ya smoke cigs, bring a lil plastic baggy to put your butts in.. so easy to roll them out and stash the butt in your pocket for the next time you see a trashcan

Here's some food for thought:
The most recent survey I could find showed that roughly 25% of Americans smoke. Realize that the American population and the Bonnaroo population are completely different, and that at Roo it's probably above 50%. For argument's sake though, I'm just gonna use 25% for this demonstration.
25% of the estimated 80,000 people buying tickets to Bonnaroo is 20,000 people. Let's just say the average person smokes a pack of cigarettes in a day. (again, probably higher at Roo, but whatever)
There's 20 cigarettes in a pack.
Bonnaroo lasts 4 days (not including monday morning, again just to prove my point)
Now, doing the math of 20,000 people x 1 pack/day x 20 cig/pack x 4 days = 1,600,000 cigarette butts!!!
Not only is that horrible for the environment, it sucks for the volunteers that have to clean up, AND not to mention the risk of flicking a lit cigarette on the ground that has been dried in near 100 degree temperatures. Just to put things in perspective, folks. Clean your butts up...
I personally make it a habit to take a big black trash bag to one of the main shows and on my way back to my tent I will fill it then trow it away I wish more people would be willing, Meanwhile Its fun if your drunk and I have actually found some nicer things on the ground among the trash

i know that all of us inforooers will do our part and help keep bonnaroo and nice, clean place for everyone to enjoy, i just hope all others will do the same
we're definitley gonna be a lot better about our trash this year than last year
we weren't acually that bad last year, definiltey threw cigs on the ground (we even had an ashtray at camp, its just easier and hey, we were at bonnaroo and my mind was working right
this year we have a roll of trashbags for the backpack. pick up trash, throw gross shit into it if those thunderstorms turn the festie into a mud puddle
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

WOW.. im a smoker .. but after readig this . i'll pocket my butts . after all i dont thow them out on my lawn at home .. why sould i throw them at my NEW summer home ...BONNAROO... i'll do my part ,, thumbs up
I've always done this. Long ago, waiting on the El in Chicago, a girl saw me stick a butt in my pocket and asked why. She pointed to the 10 million butts already on the ground and said "there's like 10 million butts already on the ground." I was happy to be able to say "None of them are mine."
It's not hard smokers! Pocket your butts!
Cleaning the site after packing up Mon morning, I pick up all the old butts I can find and always think "So little butt, what was your first Bonnaroo?!" ;D
