This happens to some of my submissions as well. They work in the hopper, but they disappear as soon as they hit the main page.

Working on it, stand by

I saw a very small amount of eco-anything there in 2007. Sure, there were the self enforced litter policies, which I actually agreed with, but for the most part is was about fun, not preaching to the choir about the environment while burning gasoline at a higher rate than one would in a year.

Lose the stigma against it and I honestly think just about every poster here would find something to enjoy about Burning Man, even is just to mock it. I was dragged there be friends expecting to hate it and now I have nothing but fond memories of my week in the desert.

I disagree. This and many other incredible projects were built by the people who attend. A kinect controlled 7-headed breathing dragon? A group of LED powered jellyfish umbrellas? A rocket propelled garden? Burning Man is filled with people who build awesome things, and not so much the "annoyingly eco-hippie free love proselytizing jackasses".
