National forests face trash woes

National forests face trash woes

TONTO NATIONAL FOREST, Ariz. - Near a rock formation twisting into the Arizona sky, the desert floor has been torn up by off-road vehicles. A tattered VCR and a bullet-riddled washing machine further scar the landscape.
Tonto is one of many national forests that suffer environmental damage caused by thoughtless, even unscrupulous, visitors.


I remember when I lived in Yosemite watching people feed the animals, sometimes I would tell them to stop. However most of the time they would either give you a look that said, "what are you going to do about it", or a look that I had done something wrong by pointing out that they were killing the animals by feeding them.
