OK, I'm going to make an effort to get things going in this room. Whenever I hike, I get so upset when I see trash on the trails. I often find myself "Doing my Good Turn Daily" by picking up these items and disposing of them when I get home.
I've always tried to clean up after myself and leave the trail/mountain areas better than when I found them (i.e. reducing human impacts).
Question is: How do we encourage such Leave No Trace/Wilderness Ethics in an era of increased outdoor recreation and (sometimes) complete lack of respect for others or for authority? What have you done?
I've tried to lead by example...telling and showing my scouts what to do and how to help out.
