Would be pretty convenient to pretend believing that.

Is it? Tents cost money. 

Seems insanely wasteful, both environmentally and fiscally.

Checking Amazon, definitely options for about $40. People absolutely just leave them as they see that $40 as an acceptable loss, especially after the inside is dirty, the outside is still wet from dew when they're packing to leave, aaand the hangover from a few days of festival life. Environmentally, I got nothing. I feel bad for the volunteers who spend time picking all this mess up.

If you don’t want it afterward because you bought it cheap and you’re a fucking slob and pissed all over it or whatever, fine, but it’s still YOUR TRASH. You can’t just leave it behind because you don’t want to deal with it. This is a very basic concept even older children understand. JFC.
