Then I realized I could be doing that every time and I started bringing shopping bags with me on hikes and grabbing any trash I see until the bag is full or I leave.

It's made me realize something.

Even the people who hike several miles into deer paths, the kind you would expect to be the less than casual group and therefore should know better, are fucking disgusting.

Humans are gross and it's nothing new, we know the most about ancient cultures that left a lot of garbage.

There must be a way for this to be boomers' fault. Boomers hike for miles on deer paths, right? Right?

Sorry if this looks like trolling but my first reaction was, who is this meant for? I honestly thought younger people (by far the primary audience for LOTR memes) were over the whole littering thing and were making better decisions. When my daughters were in elementary school in the 90s the driving philosophy at the school was take care of the Earth. WTF happened?
