Minimise Your Impact - Carry Your Poo Out With You
Walkers and hillwalkers in the Cairngorms are being asked to carry their human waste out of the hills in plastic bags and bottles to fling down a "poo chute" beside the main Cairngorm car park. It's a good idea, minimising impact on your hill trips and should definitely be encouraged. On the other hand though can you just imagine if one of these biodegradable poo bags burst inside your very expensive rucksack and spread it all over a few grand's worth of kit. Maybe in future we'll see rucksacks with specialised stink-proof poo pockets that can be clipped on the outside, varying in size depending on the length of your trip, or indeed your own regularity.
See more here.

What a horrible thought (a poo bag bursting)! But I agree, any way to minimize your impact is a great idea.
