It’s an ethos you don’t have to leave at the park gate, either. As Meg Haywood Sullivan and Charles Post explain in the video below, daily life comprises a series of decisions, and approaching those decisions with intention and a consciousness about how they impact the environment is key to making #DontFeedTheLandfills a success.
While the national parks do offer trash and recycling pickup, visitors’ trash from picnics and camping overwhelmingly ends up in landfills. Plus, trash collection is a financial burden on the National Park Service — Denali NP spends $100,000 a year on trash collection. Wouldn’t that money be better spent protecting habitat and improving user access? Heck yeah it would.
And that’s why we should all do our part to support the #DontFeedTheLandfills initiative. Our national parks belong to all of us, so let’s make sure they stay clean and pristine for generations to come.
