Too many people here (in the US) are just assholes when it comes to this sort of thing. Leave no trace doesn’t apply to them, their trash, their “neat” rock cairns, or their pet’s droppings.
- LazyMans 3y agoYeah, it's pretty bad. Go to New Zealand and check out how they operate over there. A world of difference. The nature preserves are pristine. Being an island, waste is expensive. Their culture seems to embody self-sufficiency and conservation.
- RetroTechie 3y agoWhere I used to live, there was a lake with naturist & 'textile' areas. Trash cans all around. During the summer, a cleaning crew would go round early morning. After a hot summer day, the 'textile' area would be littered with candy wrappers, chips bags, beer cans, bottles (+tops), small trash bags, forgotten children's toys, the odd piece of clothing or towel, cigarette buds, etc. On the nudist area: practically nothing. Despite often more crowded than textile area. A world of difference yet same lake & same day. It's just different mentality of people visiting an area.
- IIsi50MHz 3y agoParts of some USA trails (and presumably others) are marked only by rock cairns, typic'ly when the ground is entirely rock. Downside is, since they don't look like any kind of official trailmarker, people keep having to be told not to knock them over, not to move them, not to make more…and there are never enough watchers.
