Tourists visiting Yosemite National Park are slammed for disgusting act

Thoughtless tourists have been criticized for leaving used toilet paper on a hiking trail in Yosemite National Park.

Photos posted on the park’s official Instagram page showed about a dozen discarded sheets of toilet paper and one nearly full roll.

The disgusting waste was dumped in front of Rancheria Falls and according to park rangers this is not the first time this has happened.

“Unfortunately, this is a sight that has become all too familiar in Yosemite, even in wilderness areas,” the park wrote in the mailwhich has more than 12,000 likes.

One of the commenters on the post summed up the general frustration this way: “I hate people.”

Another person made a positive reference in his response to Thanos, a character from the Marvel Avengers films who snaps his fingers and wipes out half the population of the universe.

“I hate to say it, but Thanos was right. We have way too many people,” they wrote, criticizing the toilet paper garbage men.

The park rangers were not negative about the person in charge, but did make suggestions about how to behave on their next visit.

‘If you’re going to take toilet paper with you on your trip, pack it. You can bring a ziplock bag to keep it in, and even tape the bag shut so you don’t have to look at it.

“No one wants to be surprised by an anonymous nature lover,” the park wrote.

Some even said that dog poop bags would be better than what these people were doing.

The park also noted that there are environmental concerns about hikers burying toilet paper.

The park revealed that toilet paper does not break down within 1 to 3 years, raising environmental concerns

“It is easily exposed by weather and erosion, and animals can dig it up and spread it long before it decomposes (which can take 1 to 3 years, depending on conditions),” the park wrote.

The park also warned that some animals may use the toilet paper as nesting material.

“Let’s keep it clean and classy in there by packing up everything you bring,” the park’s message concluded.

The toilet paper in the photos appears to be unmarked, leading many to suspect that a group of women who needed to urinate were behind the incident.

One woman made that clear in her comment.

“Ladies (yes, you!) you don’t have to leave your toilet paper behind for a quick wipe. Put it in your pocket and move on. My goodness, you’re not going to die until you find a trash can,” she wrote.

“Oddly enough, I see women do this much more often than men (they can’t let it go),” wrote someone else.

Yosemite National Park covers an area of ​​747,956 hectares in eastern California and is home to hundreds of animal species and more than a thousand plant species.

President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill in June 1864 protecting the areas in Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove.

On October 1, 1890, it was officially declared a national park by Congress, making it the third national park after Yellowstone and Sequoia.
