Burning symbolic figures has a long history. I realize that people driving and flying there makes it similar to other festivals in terms of carbon output, but I think the Burning Man organizers should challenge themselves to rethink the burning ethos and come up with something that is more 21st century, not 11th century. It's a symbolic act that doesn't need to about burning wood. Where are the artists thinking outside the box? That's what I enjoyed about Burning Man.
