refers to a set of outdoor ethics promoting conservation in the outdoors. It is built on seven principles:
-Plan ahead and prepare,
-travel and camp on durable surfaces,
-dispose of waste properly,
-leave what you find,
-minimize campfire impacts,
-respect wildlife,
and
-be considerate of other visitors. The seven principles have been adapted to different activities, ecosystems and environments. MOOP( Matter out of place)
An acronym for Matter Out Of Place,
MOOP applies to any litter, rubbish or artifacts left behind that are not native to the immediate environment. The term "MOOP" was coined by the citizens of the annual Burning Man event in regards to its fundamental principle of "Leave No Trace", whereby participants make concerted efforts to pick up after themselves. It is your small daily actions, like not littering and picking up MOOP, that establish our collective social norms."*Macquarie University, Sydney Australia
MOOP" IT MATTERS"
We allow people to SEE trash(matter),
once they SEE "IT" they are aware of "IT"
Once they are aware of "IT" they can make a difference next time. This program is for festivals and events that do not have the option of, or would like to make "Cleaner,Greener Minimal (zero)Waste events"
WE have fun, sing and dance and have a good time "getting Trashed"
"talking trash" with jokes puns, song and dance allows people to
converse about this matter. "Hey, whats the great thing about recycling?"
Just do what you CAN, that's all you CAN DO." With micro-trashing over time this allows one to SEE into the details of "IT" as such a simple piece of matter. "IT Matters"
Getting people involved and participating is the fun part of this program
