My eldest daughter Sarah just started her freshman year at UNR (University of Nevada, Reno) as a biology major.
Here's a mildly, mildly amusing Meme I created today that I'll be sending to her tomorrow.

Leave no trace, mother berkeleyers.
In reply to NY Nick :
We have friends at the local yeshiva and take part at many different events there (holidays, bar mitzvah, etc), so I had to double check the source to see if that was really from a yeshiva before stealing to share on FB:
In reply to Mr_Asa :
It never occurred to me that stacking rocks would bother anyone.
I mean, you're either on a trail which clearly isn't natural or you're creating a trail by walking on previously undisturbed land, again, not natural.
Now that I know, I won't do it anymore but honestly, it doesn't make sense to me.
In reply to RX Reven' :
If it weren't for those stacked rocks, there'd be no sign that anyone had been there.

Other than the actual sign. Or the trail.
In reply to RX Reven' :
It disturbs habitats for bugs, small animals, and such, especially in waterways. People make them big enough and it disturbs the habitat for large animals. In certain regions rock stacking disturbs the soil enough to allow erosion.
It also is similar to the broken window theory. People see stacked rocks and they think "hey, they did it, why can't I?"
A trail isn't a disturbance to a habitat, animals make game trails. Trails made by people also keep people off of undisturbed land. Know how you get rocks for stacking? By going off of trails.
All in all, don't rock stack. Rock stacking is bad.

You know what, I'm not picking a side here, but this meme could not go unmade.
