>time to stop going /out/
Most of this board stopped doing that years ago LMAO

Hiking 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.

>>2844704
Whataboutism

>>2844707
Gay 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.

>>2844712
Ad hominem. Whataboutism. Anyway
>>2844712
>runoff from goretex jackets
Those 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.

>>2844725
Ad hominem. Whatboutism. Baseless, sourceless speculation.

>>2844704
>t. waiting for everyone else to be perfect before taking a single step to improve the world
aka puerile cynicism

>>2844733
The amount of improving you do by not wearing plastic in remote areas is absolutely tiny.

>>2844722
WHAT 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 me
Yes it is because those people come here and don't suddenly stop their habits
There 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?

>>2844687
Im not worried. I wear leather, cotton wool, rubber soled boots, etc etc. I avoid plastic garbage.

>>2844761
How 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 wool

Corpos 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 point
IT'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 post

Why? 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

>>2845020
Brother, we're dealing with a group with a mindset where starting a forest fire to raise awareness about climate change is morally justified, censorship is the least of their crimes. Its obvious they want us to live like landless peasants trapped in 15 minute cities.

>>2845027
Yes anon, all of us are leftist radicals who want you to live in the pod and eat the bugs. Therefore you are free to live a fossil-heavy lifestyle as god emperor trump intends and drive carbon dioxide levels to levels hitherto thought impossible. Good of you to notice!

>>2845029
Ancom here. Personalizing collective issues is the most corporate soul destroying American habit. Changes happen with production standards; expecting a greed based market system to supply environmentally rational actors is performative cover for companies and agencies that don't care. How many horse shit years of British Petroleum's personal carbon footprint did liberals drag us along for?

>>2845029
Yeah, i know. Theres one right here;
>>2844725
>If we actually cared we should ban cars and ALL PLASTICS in national parks and wildnerness areas.

>>2845016
Both are bad idiot. One is just a pristine habitat that's ruined, the other is an already fucked up area getting worse. Thirdies throwing plastic fishing lines overboard is not how this plastic got here anyway. If you read the study, it clearly shows hikers and backcountry fishermen are causing this particular case.
Anyway if we agree plastic is BAD, MORE plastic is worse than less. We created this problem in less than 100 years, what do you think it'll be like in 1000 if retards like you keep saying "it's already fucked just give up?" Things CAN get worse.
