        1994 - Huge agencies jumped on board with the theories
        
        Paul Petzoldt was a major influencer of the protocols followed
        
        Ringholz, Raye Carleson. On Belay!: the Life of Legendary Mountaineer Paul Petzoldt. Mountaineers Books, 2000.
        
        1990 - NOLS took incorporated the ethics
        
        1987 - the No Trace program began
        
        1994 - the non-profit started
        
        2007 - National parks became directly connected
        
        Currently - Leave No Trace is the expected use of the outdoors
      - LNT's goal is to preserve nature as much as possible. Sometimes destroying it a bit to obtain this goal
        
        E.g. Privy ruining natural setting, trails killing terrain, etc.
        
        You can't use land, or anything, without having an effect
  - - - Creating areas that need permits to limit the amount of impact
      - Hiring trail crews to maintain trails
      - Education offered
- - - - 2020 Can change the dynamic of the town by adding many tourists
        
        A small town where everyone knows each other, to a town where you never see the same person twice.
      - Can make corporations move in and take over
      - Can hold an area back by putting them on display
    - - Site that attracts many tourists
        
        Down falls
        
        the quantity of people disrupts locals and the environment
        
        Messes with economy (+/-)
        
        Can become almost corporate
        
        creates almost fake nature experience
        
        Purpose
        
        Generate income for the parks
        
        Building a place where many people can enjoy nature
        
        Hoping that giving people a reason to love nature, will make them not destroy it
    - - Increase the money flow
      - If people are not focusing on supporting the locals, money can go to corporations
        
        destroying the locals way of living and then not replacing their method of income
      - 2020 Locals may see that they can make more money selling trinkets or things offered to tourists. This can change their culture.
