Lovely spot: did you trample any foliage on the way in? Did you drive before walking to the spot? Did you use a stove that gives off fumes?
Just playing devils advocate and showing that trace is more than the obvious....no offence intended.

Accessed via a coastal foot path, walked from my mums house and used a meths type stove with bio fuel. No offence taken but LNT is very much about the obvious - the wider sustainable effects of any hobby or sport are probably worthy of a separate thread. Each person can decide how far to take the principles of reducing their impact but it’s the very obvious impacts that are readily noticeable.Lovely spot: did you trample any foliage on the way in?

I think it’s everything, too much emphasis is on the immediate and visual by everyone nowadays....instant gratification and virtue signalling are getting tedious.While I do agree with being aware of our impact on the environment I like @nigelp think that LNT is more about the obvious things.
The best thing we can do for the environment is not exist.
Instant gratification and virtue signaling: The whole of society is hell bent on “getting their share of nature”, posting an Instagram post of them getting it and picking up their litter, very tedious.@ScottE I do agree that when teaching people about LNT they should be informed that they also should be thinking about the environmental impact of the items they use and means of travel etc and not just about cleaning up their mess before they leave. Common sense is not too common these days unfortunately .
Also when you mentioned about "instant gratification and virtue signaling" were you talking about them in context of the comments on this thread or just generally in society for clarifications sake?
Indeed....tread lightly in everything we doEvery step you take has an impact.
Well if you dont go to the countryside and stay at home you will be exhaling three to so you might aswell stop breathing for good. To save the planet of course .wow!
This thread..
Just the very act of exhalation will leave tiny molecules of human DNA all over the countryside - so please remember to not breath also.
Can we not apply some element of sensible perspective?
