Vent: Saw tourists pocketing quartz from the trail. It's a bigger issue than you think.

Honestly shocks me that people don't get how taking little things adds up. It ruins the spot for everyone else over time. That selfish mindset is the real problem.

You're right about it being a bigger issue. I see this all the time with people treating public places like their personal grab bag. It's not just quartz, it's anything they can get their hands on.

That "personal grab bag" line. Used to think it was no big deal, but nah.

Ugh, watched someone try to hoard shells at the beach once.

I gotta admit, I used to think taking a little rock was no big deal. But seeing how empty a spot can get after everyone does it really changed my view. Now it just feels wrong to take anything that isn't yours from a shared space.
