Leave No Trace

As we burners know, Burn events, from small regionals to the Big Burn in Nevada, have one standout guiding principle: Leave No Trace.
We pick up any and every piece of MOOP (matter out of place), and ensure our site returns to the pristine state we found it.
LNT Lead @andreas Noack
LNT Planning for Kieze
For all the Kieze it is mandatory to fill out the following LNT Form.
What do you need to know?
Whatever you bring into Kiez Burn, you are responsible for removing it when you leave. Everything you bring onto the site has the potential to become Matter out of Place (MOOP): Costumes, cigarette butts, water bottles, glass containers, hats, fruit, rope fibers, glitter - everything can become MOOP. Every person and every Kiez is responsible for their rubbish.
Grey water, known as waste water, may be disposed on site if they only contain organic soap. For disposal you may use a area overgrown with bushes and dump the water there. Please keep distance from the lake when disposing organic grey water. There may be a possibility to dump grey water into the showers. There are no hook-ups for camper vans, and no dumping may be done on site. You can find recycling stations nearby at Neubrandenburg for example.
Swimming is only allowed in the bigger lake with the small island and is not allowed in the smaller lakes. Please minimize ecological stress to the lake and shower before swimming and do not use sunscreen or similar skin products.
Toilettes: the home of all the human traces. There will be porta potties (dixii) and a few compost toilettes. They will be placed adequately and sufficient numbers of toilets will be provided. Cleaning and maintenance will be done on a daily basis. If there are any issues with the toilets please let the Arbeitsamt know - than the problem well be solved as soon as possible.
MOOP - Matter Out Of Place
During the event there will be Moop Runs by volunteers to clean up the side if needed and after the event we will look through the whole side and pick up all the remaining Moop. There will be a Moop Map which will show the level of Moop left behind after the event.
NEVER LET MOOP HIT THE GROUND. Clean as you go. MOOP attracts more MOOP. When you see trash on the ground, pick it up and take it with you.
• Carry a MOOP bag. Wherever you go, carry a small bag to collect any MOOP you find.
• Weigh items down/don’t let them blow away
• If you’re a smoker, carry a portable ashtray such as a mint tin with you at all time. Never, ever drop cigarette butts.
• Ask permission before using a Kiez refuse area if you are not camping with them.
• NEVER BURN TRASH! Take your waste with you when you leave

I propose Straw & woodchips are LNT-conform and are not MOOP Closed Wed 16 May 2018 3:01PM
Straw=ok, woodchips only if not treated.
Just being wants to have Strohballen & Deine Mudda woodchips - is this OK for LNT in the sense that potentially a lot might end up in nature?

if we remove the better parts of it and leave scraps I'm sure nature won't mind

Ashes to ashes - dust to dust. Putting natural organic matter into the nature is no MOOP in my opinion if it is not obviously to much (the dose makes the poison).

significant amounts of straw and/or wood shavings will damage the grass for sure... and they're not easy to clean up

Agree but with caveats (see Bandits comment; nothing treated, small shavings, and limited amounts are ok)

I don't see how they're different from wood anyway found in the woods!

We would like to get some Strohballen (see pic) for our Kiez to use for seating and to even out some areas. We will pick it up again, but a trace is inevitable, but it's natural — OK or not OK?
