What this points out is that the computer chair "nature worshippers" have no real respect for the beauty and wonders of nature, and have no hesitation in leaving their trash wherever it happens to drop. Real ungrateful slobs, with the mindset of "the maid will clean it up". NOT RIGHT NOW, you lazy pigs! Now, you're going to have to grow up and have a little appreciation for the special place you are so privileged to see. And keep your trash on your person until you find an appropriate place to discard it. I have always gotten riled when I am out hiking in G-d's creation somewhere, and encounter discarded trash. It just speaks volumes of the spoiled immature mindset of an unfortunate percentage of our populace. These are the same kind of people who march along nature trails with earphones or ear buds on, listening to some crap music, when birds are warbling glorious arias all around them. These kind of people don't deserve to walk in a nature preserve, unless it's accompanied by a ranger to keep them in line.

And our park service encourages more of these people to come.

I say let's start DIScouraging most people.

It’s called the Tragedy of the Commons. The feral-Americans aren’t much for the outdoors, so that leaves the rest of us. I’m thinking millennials. They assume wood elves do the cleanup, if they give it any thought at all.

Not too hard to figure out who the litterers are...

Compare the trash left behind after a Tea Party rally and its lack of vandalism to what trash is left behind after a liberal protest which almost always includes vandalism...

Very well stated....thank you.

Respect nature and it’s wild life.

It's the new generation city people. "Hey... Lets go out to the park and party where there are no cops!" They mess it up for the local rural people who love it and respect it. We hate them. The environment is safe until they designate them as parks to attract these city idiots. Up here in northern Az they have an event every year called the Laughlin River Regatta on the Colorado River. It's all "floaties" only. But almost all of those who come and "enjoy" this event are city idiots from L.A. Ca. THIS is what they leave for miles along the shore when they are done stomping on the river we love. There is absolutely no excuse for this crap.
