If Hikers Ruled the World…

Here is another addition to my series of reasons the world would be a better place if everyone spent more time hiking:

4. Get to know the environment you are saving. Its hip to go green. Everyone these days sees saving the environment in a positive light. The thing is, very few people are very deeply interested in our ecological impact. It's mostly superficial for most people. All talk and no walk. I think that if everyone actually spent some time basking in natural beauty they would have a bit of a deeper interest in protecting the world. And if this conviction is deeper, people might actually make some lifestyle changes in response.
