On my thru-hike last year, I tried several times, but to no avail, to
convince people that toilet paper simply does not degrade and should be
packed out. In fact, it has a way of sneaking out from under the rocks that
people use to "bury" it. I took pictures of the toiltet paper and other
waste I encountered along the trail. Not what you would call "aesthetically
pleasing photographs", but my intention is to use them in any talks I might
give of my experience on the trail.
