Ryan Thompson, a 43-year-old art professor, has compiled two art books consisting of conscience letters and the items sent back to national parks, showcasing humanity's connection to nature.
The act of returning taken items, such as rocks from Schoolhouse Beach, signifies more than guilt; it reflects an acknowledgment of the impermanence of humanity and nature.
Some tourists, after realizing their mistake, express a sense of remorse stating, 'This was so beautiful, I couldn't help myself,' pointing to the complex sentiment behind their actions.
As the end of summer approaches, it becomes a moment for reflection on environmental actions. People might reconsider their own removals from nature, like rocks from beaches.
