Nobody has commented on the fact that this Utopian idea of 40,000 people all leaving and coming back to their spot every time they had something to throw in a garbage/ recycling can would absolutely suck.

There would be way more people walking in front of you, snaking through the concert field all show long, and it'd only add to the list of things that are annoying/ distracting at concerts.

I get that you could bring your own bag or can to your spot, but things get pretty dense closer to the stage.

I think you could almost say it's simply logical for everyone to just drop their sh*t, enjoy the show, and let volunteers and the people budgeted into the ticket price comb the field once things are done.

Another great post today. Never thought about it this way. Good work.

To whoever asked, I was not that girl that yelled at you at Magnaball. I wasn't at Magnaball, I just saw that photo and decided that maybe saying something would help the Phish community strive for a positive and proactive mindset. It's not about some Utopian idea, it's not about you being inconvenienced at a concert for a slight moment. It's not about having to read an annoying thread on your special friday afternoon (not talking to you specifically). It's about how hard it is to hold on to a can, bottle or any piece of trash until you cross paths with a disposal unit. It's about striving to be a better person who cares about their surroundings and other people just as much as they care about their own selfish desires.

You weren't even there? This whole thing was based off a picture you saw? Jeez.
Every night, a lot of people were picking up trash before living the concert field. I was in the poster line pretty early every morning, and it was pretty damned clean. That and by 9am the WET came through like a fine-toothed comb; looked like there hadn't even been a concert there by 10.
Edit*leaving.
