  abstract = {{O}utdoor recreational activities for leisure and for sport training have grown in popularity. {T}heir environmental impacts remain little studied, especially the waste generated by over-frequentation. {O}ur objective was to document how frequentation of a short mountain hiking trail can lead to significant quantities of waste. {T}o this aim, all small objects found along a three-kilometer trail were collected and their origin determined. {P}olymers were predominant, and were mostly shoe sole fragments. {T}his has never been documented and must be publicized due to the potential harmfulness to terrestrial and riparian ecosystems, and to increase the walkers' awareness.},
