We have finally gotten people on board with picking up their dog poop and putting it in little bags on the hiking trails in Colorado. Marvelous!

However, they very often miss the next step — packing it back out. Do people think there is some ranger who goes around picking those bags up? I thought maybe people were leaving it and picking it up on the way out, but I’ve seen the same bags going in and coming out most of the time. A plastic bag takes a lot longer to decompose than dog feces. And besides, little bags all over is litter. Letap take it to the next step, people. Pack it out or don’t bother bagging it.
