I once had a granola wrapper blow away in the wind, and I felt so bad I started looking for trash on my way out.
Then I realized I could be doing that every time and I started bringing shopping bags with me on hikes and grabbing any trash I see until the bag is full or I leave.
It’s made me realize something.
Even the people who hike several miles into deer paths, the kind you would expect to be the less than casual group and therefore should know better, are fucking disgusting.
Humans are gross and it’s nothing new, we know the most about ancient cultures that left a lot of garbage.

There must be a way for this to be boomers’ fault. Boomers hike for miles on deer paths, right? Right?
Sorry if this looks like trolling but my first reaction was, who is this meant for? I honestly thought younger people (by far the primary audience for LOTR memes) were over the whole littering thing and were making better decisions. When my daughters were in elementary school in the 90s the driving philosophy at the school was take care of the Earth. WTF happened?

Why couldn’t the eagles just take my trash away?!!!
Because eagles are not omnivore. Gulls and pigeons however…
Well, if studies on microplastics are any indication, they DO carry your trash.
Just indirectly.
A French Theme Park Taught Crows To Pick Up Trash
The crows are doing it
Crows are legit amazing.
If they couldn’t be trusted to fly the ring to Mt. Doom and drop it in, how could you trust them with your trash?
Pippin: *tosses trash into the Balrog pit.*
Gandalf: “THOU SHALT NOT-”
Pippin: “okay! okay! I’ll pick it up, jesus”
I’d just toss the ring in the waterfalls at Rivendell, let someone else deal with later. Not my problem.
Do you want Gollums?
Because that’s how you get Gollums.
