I've said it before, but I always love saying it again, Green Environmental Activists are the most hypocritical when it comes to the relationship of how they live and the message they convey. Earth Day gatherings always leave the most litter on the ground, and the gathering's ecological footprint takes days or weeks of restoration. Here's a case in point, from Routt National Forest in Colorado:
Forest Service spokeswoman Denise Ottaviano said aerial photography of the countercultural campers' 4-square-mile settlement in the Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District of Routt National Forest revealed "40 to 50 miles" of newly improvised trails requiring restoration in the visitors' wake.
"It's shocking," Ottaviano said. "Now there's just this enormous trail system" in a previously pristine area.
Trail restoration is one of the most important jobs of the Forest Service, because, without proper trail maintenance, erosion happens much quicker. Erosion leads to soil depletion, habitat changes, and the balance of the plant and animal species change too. These new trails are the direct effect of man's interference with nature, caused by the very people who supposedly worship Nature. Not only that but they also leave hazardous waste and introduce new species because "a number of broken-down or stolen vehicles will be left behind, and [...] that 20 to 30 lost or abandoned dogs have been rounded up." Yeah, big ups to Mama Nature.
