Walking/Hiking Answers: Banana Skins and the Countryside

Got an answer to the following question?

Banana Skins And The Countryside

Hi, Last time I was in the Yorkshire Dales I absently tossed my banana skin over a wall only to be (good humouredly) admonished by my walking pals that is does not do the countryside any good.

Is this true?

Surely since banana skins are organic matter and bio-degradeable they will just rot into the soil providing much needed nutrients?

Thanks,
