[pct-l] Class of 2010 - trash

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

I wish there was something more I could do besides just picking up  
trash. I have a popular web site and I made banner ads about leave no  
trace principles and I randomly insert the ads all over my site  
hoping people will get the message. I also make people accept a  
promise to leave no trace before I let them read information about  
the hikes on my site. But not everyone visits my site so the effect  
is minimal. Heck, for all I know, asking people not to litter just  
makes them want to litter more. Who knows?

I had thought about getting leave no trace posters from the LNT web  
site and posting them at trailheads. But the posters are too much  
about camping and I think it might be best to attack the problem from  
the day-hiker point of view, at least locally.

Anyway, if anyone has ideas on how to get people to litter less in  
the wilderness, (and anywhere, really) I'd love to hear it.
