I grew up in a time when we learned respect for self and respect for others.
That is basically gone here in the United States now; so sad but little - virtually nothing - I can do to make any great changes.
In my teens I was a leader doing Scout canoe trips in northern WI. I was called the Voyageur - the Explorer Scout person that was kinda between the adult leaders and the Scouts.
It was expected that we leave a back country campsite improved in some form. And, of course, clean. This was a good lesson for us young guys to learn.
I can honestly say that we have always left our sites clean. We did that when we tent camped with our children and we do it now as we rv.
I am NOT looking for glorification here at all. Not the point. The point is the change in our society.
And, guess what, it is not going to get better. I think of the generations next to come and I am - like I have so often said - glad I lived in the best times the United States has ever seen, or ever will see.
IMHO.
