Here I wrote some of my thoughts on littering. And here I wrote some of my thoughts on poisoning myself.

In all, my thought is that the cumulative effect of everyone chucking their apple cores on a popular hiking trail would be a negative impact for everyone. And even if the circumstances are different - like being on a more remote trail - I think it is important to maintain the habit and encourage this level of fastidiousness with other outdoors enthusiasts. And really, it is seriously no big deal to just put your apple core in your pants pocket, or hold it in your hand, or exercise the slightest amount of forethought and bring something to use as a trash container with you. Or just eat it.
