Where do the animals that live in the forest go? Do they pick it up and take it with them?

Maybe the enviromentalist should go up into the mountains and clean up after them. At least it would give them something useful to do.

This is silliness to a new degree.

You've got that right. It seems to me the problem is to educate people to be more considerate, that is, careful. If you dig a deep enough hole, and fill it back up, it shouldn't be a problem. On the other hand, if you just dump and run, it is. So now the same people who dump and run are expected to be so considerate as to use this dump and wrap package. I don't think they will. Just more government employee silliness.

This really isn't about the forest, it's about the areas above timberline. Ain't much soil up there and crap takes a long time to decompose. On popular routes such as Shasta or Longs Peak in Colorado, you could have several hundred people a day climbing. Even if thirty of them try to take care of business above timberline, that's a lot of crapola over the course of a summer.
