Just saw this documentary, From The Ground Up: Keeping The Desert Clean, dropped on Youtube. It's about how trails and public land is being closed due to trash out west. Crazy to see what people are doing instead of packing it in and packing it out. If you have time to watch, check it out!
Have you seen this documentary? Trails are being closed!

Agreed,
I agree, educate & they’ll change? Sorry, didn’t work in grade school and doesn’t work in life. Low life entitled idiots only understand their own language and as we all know, stupidity is a bottomless pit, so it’s impossible to keep up with them. Years ago, a family in central Pa was arrested, put in jail and fined 10s of thousands of dollars for dumping on public land. The local newspapers wrote the story in an attempt to illicit sympathy for them. They ended up doing a couple weeks in jail and a few thousand dollar fine.. I say, get tough, enforce the law, lock em up. Sadly, there’s little funding to do that, it’s cheaper and easier to put up a gate. The organizations that are working hard to keep trails open are also the same organizations that will vote for a policy maker that is more than willing to cut funding. These organizations are shooting themselves in the foot by doing so. Instead of fighting the tree huggers head on, embrace them, lay out our common ground and work from there. People littering ought to go to jail, or taken out back to the woodshed.
