There's nothing wrong with wanting to go to these places and even taking photos of them, there is something greatly wrong with going to places and not respecting them: leaving rubbish, trespassing, damaging properties. This is very much made worse in the modern day of vain instagrammers because instead of taking photos of things, taking selfies is such a trend more than it ever was, which is causing people to climb into/onto things, tresspass and damage. That is not ok.
- timmaah 7y agoI don't think trashing of beautiful places is any worse now than previous generations. I've seen tons of old broken glass and aging trash in the desert. A good amount of southern California has been paved over. Most of the northeast US is private land and the spaces in between given over to vehicles. Yeah this new wave of disrespect isn't great, but it is nothing new and I don't think the focus should be shaming the instagram selfie crowd. General respect and teaching is still the way to go.
- dkersten 7y agoI don't think its new, but, as with everything nowadays, the scale is a lot larger and the desire for vanity pics has increased due to social media.
