Awh, I always thought they were so pretty and had no idea they could be harmful

Can someone transcribe this? The water is really loud.

“Hey everybody! Here we are in the southern Appalachian mountains. We have a pristine Montane stream ecosystem, as you can see all around us here. I thought I’d make an educational video this morning. It involves this practice right here [gestures to rock pile]. As our national parks and national forests fall victim to human pressure, more than ever, this is something we’re seeing more and more of. Hopefully we can make this video go viral. This stream, as you can see around us right here, is a breeding ground for North America’s largest salamander, the Eastern hellbender. They can get up to 2.5-3 feet long. It’s part of our natural heritage in the eastern United States. When people do this right here - what they consider to be art - they’re actually destroying the breeding ground for the Eastern hellbender salamander. The Eastern hellbender will use flat rocks such as these to make nesting sites in these streams. So here’s what I would like everybody to do. If you care about our Montane stream freshwater ecosystems like this one around us here, when you see something like this, this is what I recommend doing: [kicks down rock pile]. Take the rocks, throw them back into the stream. The Eastern hellbender utilizes rocks like this. It actually feels pretty good to do this! [walks to other pile] This is not actually art, okay? This is destruction of our freshwater ecosystems. So I would like to encourage everyone: when you see this [gestures to second rock pile], do this! [kicks pile] I’d like to return our streams to their natural state for the organisms that live here. Thanks, and have a good day.”

There was a trend where US Troops during WWII, would scrawl, on walls carve into trees, spray paint on abandoned vehicles, the phrase, ‘Kilroy Was Here’. It served as notice to enemy troops/Civilian populations that AMERICAN soldiers were in the area. It was US Troops marking territory, leaving their Mark.

Humans, like most semi-predatory animals, are territorial. We often CAN NOT go someplace New without leaving SOME Mark that will notify others we’ve BEEN there (Note: There is an American flag on the Moon). This is true from the Institutional Level to an Individual one but on the Individual level, as noted above, it can actually be MORE destructive to the environment.

Very recently, there have been appearances of unadorned & unexplained Monoliths in remote locations around the world (Likely Art installations of some type). Mysteriously placed, the inigma of who’s doing this and why has attracted quite a bit of public attention. So much so that one of the Monoliths, located in the Sandstone Hills of Utah, was eventually dismantled and removed by environmental activists. Why? Because a LOT of people, unsure of the Monoliths EXACT location, were driving around searching for it in All-Terrain Vehicles, in order to see it/take selfies along side it. All this new activity was subsequently tearing up the naturally formed Sandstone Hills and utterly disrupting the environment. Someone left their Mark and everyone had to SEE it. Personally.

TL;DR- Reatraint: Resist the urge to leave your Mark. Endevor to leave NO MARK AT ALL. Even on the smallest pebble.
