With the lightness of our products, there's really no excuse not to carry and use them.   

"I'm always interested in new technology for managing human poop in the back country," said Ralph Swain, national coordinator of Leave No Trace.  Swain and others say the plastic bag products many people are using may not be the best solution.  The bags, he said, will add to the landfill problem.  Plastic bags take decades to decompose.

Biodegradable greenbags and biodegradable toilet paper solve all the problems now ongoing in the national parks, wildernesses, and backcountry.  The mantra: either bury it or pack it out! is now not just politics as usual, but a blatant necessity.

At Mount Rainier near Seattle, park workers put human poop from remote toilets in 55-gallon drums and haul them out by helicopter. The same is true at Yosemite, where poop was once carried out by mule.  Rainier has also been a leader in the "blue bag project," handing out special bags to mountain climbers and asking them to pick up after themselves (much like doggy bags in urban areas).  Mount Shasta officials are handing out similar bags.

Campers are instructed to dig cat holes to bury their poop and toilet paper in hundreds of parks and recreation areas.  But this produces yet another problem.  "If there are 200 or 300 campers doing the same thing, it's not too long before you're digging up someone else's waste," said Oye.  Besides, to get far enough away from the river to bury poop correctly often requires walking through someone else's campsite.  

In mountain country or in alpine areas, where people often bury their poop in the snow, there's an unsightly mess when the snow melts, according to park workers.  Leave No Trace (a group that has developed an ethic for wilderness and backcountry behavior) is seeking new solutions to the quickly growing human poop problem.
