I do a lot of walking and hiking, and I’ve taken to bringing a good sized stuff sack attached to my belt to just toss whatever trash I come across until I have no room. Might start bringing a trash grabber, too. Littering is extraordinarily offensive to me, but for too long I adopted a “I didn’t do it so I shouldn’t have to be the one that picks it up” attitude. I can either be impotently angry and indignant at the problem, which does nothing to solve it, or just put in a little extra effort and be a force of change. I implore everyone to do just a little bit to leave a place better than you found it. The culmination of a lot of small acts done consistently can have surprising results.
