I was so shocked to see how many people left their belongings, but it was even more shocking that it was normal for everyone online," she said.

"Everyone is really tired after a multi-day festival, but I didn't think people were that lazy or careless."

I'm suprised she's surprised.

Eh, that still wastes the energy used to process the material, so still unideal. But probably better?

Could change the model so that the festival provides the tents for $0 (or some tiny fee), but with a $500 bond. Trash the tent, lose $500, look after it and it gets re-used next festival.
