Please don't think this was aimed @ BFT ... I can see by the subjects on here that pople are conservation and environmentaly conscious. I often write letters to various publications related or unrelated to outdoors in the hope to reach everyone. I always seize on an opportunity to vent in the hopes that it may change the thinking of even one individual.
I always open my mouth if I see folks litter, but in a low-key way. My favourite tactic is to say loudly enough for other people present to hear, "Excuse me, you forgot to take you trash with you."
If its a drunk, billigerent group who leave and don't take their trash with them, I'll pick it up myself. My wife and I always carry black garbage bags with us to pick up trash we find. If it's a lot of trash, we'll pick up and carry what we can and dump it at the first dumpster we find. It's no skin of my teeth do do a little extra work for the sake of both my sanity and the privelage of the outdoors.
