Great Wide Open – Human Waste and Recreation

One of the top issues for any recreation user group is the management of human waste. In Grand County, it’s illegal to leave human waste on area public lands. So, what to do? As Great Wide Open host Lisa Hathaway says, “we all have to manage our human waste one way or another every day.” The latest episode discusses the history of this issue as well as new and inventive programs aimed at waste management for recreators.
