Yes, I think the best thing we can do is shut all national parks and let people enjoy them by playing documentaries on TV ;) National parks are there to be visited and enjoyed but people have to be educated on how limit their impact on the environment. Regular campers probably have less impact on the environment than the day trip visitors that seem to think that throwing rubbish around is fine.

Maybe removing hot showers will decrease the pressure on the environment by reducing visitor numbers (especially the ones that set up tent cities ;)
