\neco-wise camp tips<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"microtrash\"<\/a>
Microtrash is all that small stuff that seems to miss the trash bag.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"camp\"You manage to drag yourself off the couch, congratulations! You’ve packed up your ride and are heading out to your favorite “secret” spot. Anticipation builds as you arrive and pull into the empty lot. Your heart sinks however when you discover that your once pristine camp spot has been transformed into the new town dump. An old lawn chair, candy wrappers and beer cans litter the area that you once loved. Impromptu fire rings are strewn about and armies of weekend warriors have trampled your favorite meadow into a dust bowl.<\/p>\n

\"No
\nDON’T BRING THE CITY TO THE WILDERNESS.<\/b> The noise, the food containers, the beer bottles, the fast food wrappers, the broken plastic crap and the balled up baby diapers. The disposable society we have created now makes us all too LAZY. Getting off your ass and outdoors means you need to take some responsibility.<\/p>\n

You get much needed exercise, outdoors breathing fresh air, and enjoying life, \u00a0while discovering new destinations and awesome terrain. The least you can do is clean up a little, and encourage others to do the same.<\/p>\n

Trash isn’t specific to just campers and target shooters. Hunters are notorious pigs, especially when gathering in groups. Day hikers ‘accidentally’ loose stuff all the time – from sunglasses to bottle caps. Picnickers often forget something at the site.<\/p>\n

Family day in the snow sounds great. Sledders leave massive amounts of trash – from broken sleds to food trash.<\/p>\n

Litterbugs include many types of folks: disruptive teens, toothless alcoholic contractors, local yolkels, urban mishaps, gangster wanna-bes, home boys, totally oblivious yuppies & even uneducated families…<\/p>\n

keep the trash & tagging to the city!<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

EDUCATION <\/span><\/span>is key on this matter & it starts with you.
\nPlease pass along good outdoor ethics.<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seems you can’t go deep enough. The further into the forest you go, you still seem to see it – evidence of neglect for our land. In every outing these days, we constantly notice tons of litter and graffiti. Deliberate disrespect for the open spaces and valued wilderness lands. What is going on here?<\/span><\/p>\n

Please report graffiti in action to the local law enforcement or nearest rangers office! Or better yet, get them on video and post it on YouTube.com <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Garbage
\nWhat’s the worst that can happen?<\/b><\/p>\n

Small fragments of plastics are being found inside birds, wildlife and marine life, due to the vast amounts of micro-trash that is found outdoors. Ingested plastics often kill the animals.<\/p>\n

Our secluded swimming holes and creek trails are now littered so badly, that the smaller trash is making it into major rivers and into the bellies of fish and the near-extinct\u00a0California condors.<\/p>\n

Misuse and sheer disregard is how OUR lands get closed (by OUR OWN government). Closed off forever, turned into ‘off limit’ roads\u00a0and more totally closed wildernesses, that only can be explored on foot. OHVs, dirt bikes, 4x4s need to realize their overall impact on natural habitats could have a detrimental effect on these lands. There is a balance. Play wisely. This includes all the red necks with guns too.<\/p>\n

Graffiti, Soda Cans, and Cigarette Butts are a nuisance to nature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As more and more office drones venture from their cubicles and out onto the unbeaten path, they leave behind the remnants of their bold treks for all to see. Refuse, human waste, smoldering campfires and crushed flora<\/a> from selfish tent placements and trail blazing destroy our fragile eco-system and pollute the environment for years to come.<\/p>\n
