>>2844687>time to stop going /out/Most of this board stopped doing that years ago LMAO
>>2844687Hiking does have significant ecological consequences at scale. It's tough because there's always a push to increase accessibility but the most accessible trails get eroded to shit and littered on.
>>2844704Whataboutism
>>2844707Gay faggot.So what do we do about plastics getting in to rainwater because of all the shit india and china dump into the ocean?Or do you really believe that runoff from goretex jackets is the bigger environmental concern?
>>2844712/out/ is full of filth. I pick up 3-5 pieces of filth every time I go on a daytrip. Anything from sig butts to empty cans of beer, sunglasses and children's toys. What they do in India is of no concern to me, my mountains need to stay clean. I clean my doorstep, you clean yours, pretty simple concept.
>>2844712Ad hominem. Whataboutism. Anyway>>2844712>runoff from goretex jacketsThose microplastics will NEVER GO AWAY. Consider the impact of every idiot on social media treading in sensitive areas with this shit... for 1000 years. If we actually cared we should ban cars and ALL PLASTICS in national parks and wildnerness areas. Humans have been around for an unfathomable amount of time in the wilderness without plastic.
>>2844725Ad hominem. Whatboutism. Baseless, sourceless speculation.
>>2844704>t. waiting for everyone else to be perfect before taking a single step to improve the worldaka puerile cynicism
>>2844733The amount of improving you do by not wearing plastic in remote areas is absolutely tiny.
>>2844722WHAT THE FUCK????!!!!I’ve spent a lot of time hauling that trash in there and here you are hauling it out for fun? You know how hard I work to bring my household trash, glass bottles, plastics and used motor oil out there???? The nerve of you.GET BENT CAPTAIN PLANET COCK SUCKER!!!!
>>2844722>What they do in India is of no concern to meYes it is because those people come here and don't suddenly stop their habitsThere is a river in my state that is pristine trout habitat until it goes through a town with large indian population and suddenly there's E. coli in it. I wonder why?
>>2844687Im not worried. I wear leather, cotton wool, rubber soled boots, etc etc. I avoid plastic garbage.
>>2844761How about the fact that their shit and pollution also doesn't respect borders? They're a fucking biohazard/pollution on the planet and should be dealt with as such
Time to return to leather and woolCorpos pump out a bunch of environmentally toxic shit, and the people who want to walk outside are the problem. Thanks, (((news)))
>>2844725>Still missing the pointIT'S IN THE RAINWATER ALREADY, IT'S ALREADY EVERYWHERE IT RAINS. IT'S TOO LATE, THE PLASTIC WON.You're worried about dandruff level plastic shedding white people do while ignoring explosive diarrhea level plastic contamination nons do. And you justify it to yourself with a "nimby, it's none of my concern what nons do" attitude.It does concern you though because it ends up in the water and becomes part of the water cycle and even if you banned human entrance to wild land it still gets there through rain and wind.Figure out what the real problem is and get your priorities straight dickhead.
Lol they actually deleted my postWhy? It didn't say anything racist. It wasn't trolling. All it did was upset the liberal retard OP. Is that against the rules now?
Even pointing out that minorities pollute WAY MORE is not even allowed.Apparently it's racist to even point out that it happens. Isn't that something, anons?Say, brother >>2845016, isn't that quite something? They won't even let us talk in order to protect their precious minorities.
Ask yourself how you're going to protect the environment when you ARE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEMS AFFECTING IT
