greenhorn

This may well be the founding principle of environmentalism, dating back to Theodore Roosevelt’s hunting expeditions and John Muir’s establishing of the Sierra Club with its excursions for greenhorns.

We’d just completed our training on the principles of Leave No Trace and would soon be guiding across these waters our own rafts of greenhorns, who would invariably ask what to do with their own banana peels.

For the non-greenhorn, though, there is fun to be had in the smattering of fearless, at times audacious, assertions.

Of course it was a pretty greenhorn trick, but I guess no harm will come of it.
