Rule #1: Defend against MOOP!

Definition

MOOP stands for Matter Out of Place, and avoiding leaving MOOP anywhere on the hill, in the forest, on the fields, along paths, etc. is an essential part of leaving no trace at Firefly. MOOP includes, but is not limited to:

  • Personal items that have been misplaced or forgotten
  • Trash of any size, including
    • Feathers, sequins, or glitter (DO NOT pack anything with these on them)
    • Cigarette butts (bring a container to dispose of these if you plan to smoke)
    • Toilet paper (if you use TP in the woods, it needs to go into your personal trash bag)
    • Food scraps (no, you can't toss your banana peel into a bush)
  • Poop (Please don't poop in the woods. We don't want to have to pick it up. 💩🤢)

Guidelines

  • 🚫 DO NOT BRING anything with feathers 🪶, sequins 💎, glitter 🌟, or anything else likely to fall off your costume or body and become MOOP. This is a rule and not a suggestion; if you're walking around in a MOOPy outfit, attentive Fireflies will tell you to go back to your tent and change.
  • 🏷️ LABEL YOUR BELONGINGS with your name and where you're camping, especially cups, water bottles, hats, jackets, or other items you're likely to carry around with you.
  • 🍬 CARRY A SMALL PLASTIC BAG for any trash you create or find while away from your campsite. It's expected that everyone be prepared to pick up any MOOP they encounter at Firefly.
  • 🗑️ BRING TRASH BAGS to use for your personal trash for the week. You will need to carry all your trash offsite with you at the end of the event.

Other Tips

  • Brightly colored zip ties, paracord, etc. are easier to find when packing up than black, white, or clear ones.
  • You can reduce your total trash by removing unnecessary packaging from food and other items before you pack them.
