Littering Cigarettes


I am becoming interested in global warming. How do I start a grass roots effort in my community?
I live in the Eastern Sierras of California and have hiked numerous trails and peaks. I am noticing a lack of concern and appreciate/care for the environment. That concerns me. Trash, litter, cigarette butts are becoming the norm along the trails. I want to do something to help others appreciate the environment and enjoy nature. It will preserve the forest and nature for the future.
