this is how the ravers contribute to the big amounts of pollution the humankind creates on the earth. this is the basic contents of a rave garbage bag:

- flyers
first, flyers are made out of cardboard. they could be recycled.
second, ravers don't have to accept a flyer if they don't want it. flyers mainly inform us of a party, and most of the ravers go on that wonderful rave.ca website, so therefore they don't need to have a flyer.
third, there is no use to bring more flyers than ravers to a party.

- glowsticks (edited)
sure they are really cool, but they are also disposable pieces of crap. there are two solutions to this problem. solution one is pretty simple: you can buy the light toys, and rechargable batteries. not only you'll save money on the long run, but these toys also flash and make all kinds of effects that glowsticks don't. solution two is to break the glowsticks after you use them and empty the liquid, and put them to the recycling bin instead of the garbage.

- plastic bottles and aluminum cans
they are recyclable too. raves should be equipped with garbage cans as well as recycling cans, one besides each other, so when the raver goes about throwing their things in the garbage, they are given the choice. emphasis on the recycling, too, is a good thing. it goes really well with the PLUR philosophy, respect for the environment.

this is very important. we are the generation that is supposed to be intelligent about those things. there is many reasons why we rave, and one of them is to 'escape' from the world, but it doesn't mean acting like irresponsible and careless either.

seriously if we all make that effort we could reduce the raver pollution by at least 75%. and probably even more.

thank you for reading, and thank you even more for acting.

flyer: it's useless crap, we don't need those glow sticks: it can be useful if you're lost in the dark, it's a waste to use in parties plastic bottles: just bring one small bottle you can have with you and big container from which you go refill your bottle, this way there's very little trash to dispose of. we don't need to recycle more as recycling is a red herring and not a solution, we need to reduce the amount of trash we produce. In Europe, we noticed that if people attending the event have to pay to attend they seem to expect other people to clean after them and they feel little to no guilt throwing trash around. In a free party event, people tend to be more responsible and conscious, but many people also tend to take a lot of drugs and forget about acting responsibly. but if the proportion of responsible people is high enough the place will be mostly clean afterwards.

agreed :D and also, batteries are recyclable, in a way. There are places where you can give them and they recycle it. At my college we could do it.

what about the used syringes and the bags full of glue? or the unrecyclable raver goo? or all those shitty minimal techno vinyl records?

Excellent article. These are alllllll things that most of us don't even realize. Hopefully things will slowly start to get better, especially with the help of promoters who remind people of these things and do these things themselves as well.

je parle de batteries rechargables. tu les achetes une fois et c'est bon pour un fucking boutte. avec le temps ca revient pas mal plus economique que d'acheter deux lightsticks par party, en plus que tes batteries tu peux les utiliser dans d'autres patentes aussi quand tu raves pas...

These are good tips for sure, I never came to realise how much garbage a rave may cause !

It's great that you've mentioned this! If I'm one of the last stragglers at a rave, I'll actually go around picking up flyers on the sidewalk and take them home for recycling. I try to do my part to help the environment, but it's good to make a post like this- it raises the awareness of everyone else. One person can make a difference, but it's so much better if everyone gets involved and pitches in.
