Painted Rocks

These hand-painted rocks were in an "Inspiration Garden" outside of Watson. Though they are intended to spread happiness and color, these projects can often have ecological consequences and violates the Leave No Trace principles. Both toxic and non-toxic paints eventually break down and can end up in soil or bodies of water, hurting the environment farther from where it was originally placed.

Other similar projects like the widely known "Kindness Rocks Project" encourage people to place their rocks, which have been removed from their natural environment, wherever they want thus leading to a variety of negative impacts.
