Unwelcome Object
Carlsbad Caverns National Park is a system of caves. It is in New Mexico. In September, a bag of Cheetos was dropped there. It caused problems for cave life.
Food and drink are not allowed in the caves. A spilled snack might seem harmless. But “to the life of the cave it can be world changing.” That is according to a park official. It was posted on Facebook on September 6. The Cheetos “formed the perfect environment” for fungus. Much of this did not belong in the cave. Rangers spent time removing it.
The post reminded people that “we all leave an impact wherever we go.”
