A suggestion - about rubbish on the moor.

I hate rubbish as much as the next person, and when I can when I am out (if I remember to pick one up before I leave) is to take a plastic carrier bag and fill it up with as much rubbish as I can when I am on the moor and dispose of it properly.

If everyone were to do that then the moor would be free of rubbish within a week or three

I know some of you already do that but if more of us were to do it then it would become habit.

May be during the Meet weekend when everyone converges on the dartmoor we should go out and purge areas of litterboxes and general rubbish. and let the press know what we are doing, get a bit of good PR

I am down for that week so I am going to put a bin bag in my rucsac and start collecting rubbish

Totally agree with you. Have had some even more dissapointing moments when I think I have come across a letterbox and find it is a bag of someone's rubbish stuffed in a hole.
We can make a difference, there will always be ignorant people who do not realise the harm they cause. I will make a conscious effort to remove other peoples rubbish.
