Imagine if environmental regulation, pollution, etc looked like this.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoThis is an environmental regulatory requirement by the Federal Bureau of Land Management.
- john_strinlai 5mo agofor the curios or those that skipped over it: "Black Rock City is only allowed to return to the playa each year if it passes a strict post-event inspection from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM): No more than one square foot of debris can remain per acre (0.23 m²/ha)."
- Scoundreller 5mo agoK, but what’s a square foot in metric? And percent would be better here. Or per Mille to be annoying.
- Sardtok 5mo agoRead it again, it says right there in square metres.
- hk__2 5mo agoIsn’t it strange to mesure this in surface rather than volume?
- Jarwain 5mo agoNot much difference between a 12" and a 18" lag bolt for the purpose of "how much trash is visible and impacts terrain". Surface feels a bit fairer in that sense. Or at least, easier to measure.
- 0xbadcafebee 5mo agoThe authorities are saying they don't want to see any trash at all, regardless of volume. Imagine 100 sheets of paper vs 100 AA batteries. The batteries have much more volume, but the sheets of paper cover a much larger area so there's much more visible trash.
- Jarwain 5mo agoThey aren't referring to the regulatory requirement, but the response, I think? Like if people can put in this much time and effort in a remote desert environment to meet regulatory requirements, and document their efforts so thoroughly, why can't corpos?
- soared 5mo agoI fairly obviously meant outside of this specific instance, if pollution etc were policed and responded to in such a manner.
- MattGaiser 5mo agoThis is driven in part by regulatory pressure.
