Dispatch from Black Rock City: "The pigs are here" at Burning Man

Not to mention the fact that urine is ph acidic, and the playa is ph alkaline, so the acids have a deleterious effect on the soils there, which interrupts the life cycles of the tiny shrimp-like creature which live in the clays, and come out to breed when it rains. So the moisture alone can affect these creatures, by taking them out of hibernation at the wrong time.

Pissing on the playa is a bad and stupid thing to do. There are porta-johns everywhere on playa. If you have incontinence and can’t hold it, wear a fucking diaper.
