Because despite all the pseudo spiritual bullshit, most attendees of Burning Man are just extravagant people that do not care about its environmental cost. They just want to see shit burn. If you have "spiritual" problems, throwing a Halloween party in the desert is not going to do shit for you. Flying people from all corners of the planet to gather somewhere is never going to be carbon neutral. Flying from coast to coast has the same carbon footprint of burning trash for an entire year. Then, burning massive amounts of shit once you arrive has an even higher footprint. Want to connect with your inner self? fucking close your eyes and breathe. It is free.
