No, it starts at the bottom. It starts with you and me. If (you and me) did the "right" thing, then there would be no need for any kind of intervention from "the top."
If nothing else, those of us who cherish our National Parks, who cherish the great outdoors, and who want to continue to preserve this way of life for ourselves and our children, then all we can do is take our own personal responsibility ... leave your campsite cleaner than when you first arrived. Simple. If everyone did that, at lease one part of this world would be a much better place.
The one who throws a simple cigarette butt on the ground for someone else to pick up is just as guilty as these people who are destroying our parks right now by leaving trash and human waste.
I couldn't agree with you more. Every time we go to one of our favorite fishing spots where we are able to boondock, we have to do cleanup.
Water bottle caps are the worst, followed by cigarette butts, and beer cans.
Too many people just assume someone else will pick up after them.
