so when i think of giving back to the outdoors i think of all the crap that people throw away because they want to get rid of trash, too lazy to find a trash can, don't care about the environment, etc.

so what i try to do is pick up everything and anything i see off the ground, unless my hands are full of too much trash or other items. i do make sure to wash my hands after i touch the trash, and i put what i find in it's respectable bin (if it needs to be recycled or not). i always try to pick up at least two pieces a day as well, and usually end picking up more.

does anyone else do this?

To be perfectly honest I do

To be perfectly honest I do occasionally do it but no where near as much as i probably should. It is a good point that lynette the moose brings up, there is a lot of trash lying around that if we stopped to take take the time to pick it up, our world would be a lot cleaner around us. =D>

Also, i just found this on the NYDEC website. http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7127.html. Every year the DEC sells a bunch of trees, mostly pines, that you can buy for next to nothing, i wanna say they come in packs of about 100 for 50 bucks or something. They are saplings, but it's a great way to help soil erosion, and green up an other wise treeless area. So if anyone out there from NY is looking for lots of cheep trees, take a look at that website.

i do give back to the outdoors if it releasing a fish or planting a tree letting the small bucks walk picking up trash i do collect the cans but thats recycling also ther are so many ways to get involved its a shame america looks this way in places i picked up trash at a canoe rental i know what it looks like when 700 people bring there trash off the river but ther is always a few that dont and that makes unsafe for the people and animals such as fish ect but anyway i wanted to say i do my part and try thanks jarrod

sweet

i agree that it's sad people don't do more. you know as they do it,they could get some exercise as well-helping themselves and the environment lol.

i say do what you can, let people know you do (don't try to force them to though) and it may catch on; at least it has with some of my friends. whatever you do though, do not try to force people though, it could potentially backfire on you.
