Bruce Cooper

Founder

"Badger"

Bruce Cooper coordinated a Burning Man Hive discussion with several artists that focused on the desire for artists to switch from reliance on generators to using renewable power systems. The discussion included sharing success stories, constraints, opportunities and lessons learned. Bruce then approached the Burning Man Project about the collective needs of artists and he was told, "you should start a group."

In 2021 Bruce founded the RAT with the goal of assisting artists to power their art with renewable energy. The RAT is actively supported by the Burners Without Borders. Bruce is also involved with the Green Theme Camp Community, contributed to the Burner Leadership Achieving Sustainable Theme Camps (BLAST) certification standards, and the Burning Man Hive. 

After 40 years of sailing as a Chief Engineer in the Merchant Marines he is gratefully retired.
