[Mark B.]

Too many people/inadequate recreation areas = problems.

Maybe as part of the discussion of diverting funds for military gear for the police to other priorities, recreation opportunities near to where people live could be explored.

Also, outdoor ethics (leave it better than you found it, etc.) need to be taught in grade school. When we were reckless youths we kept our semi-illegal camping/drinking/swimming holes clean and undercover, so as not to draw attention to the spot by the county mounties or local yokels and other hordes of youths that would ruin it.
