People who go to trails are not gaurnteed, but are more likely to care about the environment they traveled to go to. Mostly.

The only way this will work is if humans behave in ways that no human has ever humaned

There are countries where this is culturally how litter is managed. Japan is a fully developed example - bins are hard to come by, everyone brings their trash with them.
It can be done.

Unless they are in a car, take a walk along one of the less used roads and you will find empty food containers and piss bottles galore

Just putting in my 2 cents. I don’t remember seeing any trash from my 2 weeks in Japan. The country is impeccably clean.

If there is a bin I will use it, if not I will take it home.
If you don’t you are scum and deserve to be pilloried in the town square.

While it can be done you have to have a focus on the group over the individual like Japan for It to happen. The main issue faced in most of the countries where litter would be an issue are ones that are more indiviualistic. So you have to upend the entire culture of a country and move its focus off of self and onto the whole. Can it be done? Eventually. Will it be done? Not likely.
