Surely those people would just camp in pre-pitched tents or some other premium sleeping system? It's cheaper AND easier to get a pre-pitched tent than it is to buy a tent...
There is simply no situation where buying a tent specifically to throw it away makes sense
Yeah youre right. The hundreds have no clue....or, people make different choices about how they live, what they are willing to waste etc.
Let's face it we all "waste". Maybe you drive an unnecessarily big vehicle or don't carpool when you could. Maybe you enjoy getting the newest and greatest phone every 2 years instead of dealing with a battery with a little less life.
The truth is unless the phone/computer you're using to post this is weaved with native grasses, you have a footprint youre responsible for too but you feel youre decisions are right for you.
Im not religious but maybe your are. "He who hath not sinned, cast the first stone." Your righteous indignation may make you feel temporarily superior but I highly doubt you don't leave a mark on this world.
If this field was left like this, I bet there were circumstances that led to this. Perhaps storms made organizers clear the site and the storm lasted long enough that people just bailed. Things can get really uncomfortable when youre cold, wet and unprepared for harsh weather. Let's say the weather wasn't projected to change for 30 hours and the festival would be over by then. Are you saying youd stay more than a day to get your soaking wet sleeping bag and tent, assuming they didnt get destroyed in storm?
