Mount Everest Is Turning into a Garbage Dump | Earth.Org
I don't know what's preventing drones from bringing back stuff if the weather is nice enough. We also see people waiting in line, maybe they could just make a giant chain to transfer trash lower and lower until people can safely bring it back. It seems like in 2024 we would have found solutions for that. They also need to limit the number of people who go up there.
Uh turning into what you mean it has been a dump for years
You have a point. It is rather "increasing number garbage in Mount Everest" especially the increasing number of dead bodies and missing mountaineers.
It’s a very sad thing I’ve watched many of documentaries about this and I belive it’s not the mountain that will kill you it is the lines up the mountain that will this is sad deal the climbing industry there has been forced by the government to start hauling out trash but it’s not enough
Every season the same topic… since 20 years or what?
Humans selfishly leaving nature in shambles with our mess? Well, I never!
Shouldn't the Nepalese government be doing something given how much people pay for licenses to climb Everest?
Obviously people should take as much home as they can and they probably do what given the requirements for oxygen and waste disposal at that high altitude most climbers couldn't bring that stuff back
most climbers couldn't bring that stuff back
They don't even bring their stuff up in the first place. Their stuff is carried by sherpas to base camp and then again to the peak for them as the sherpas also clear the route for the ascent for them. Climbing everest isn't what it used to be, there's a reason you see a load of 60+ year olds on the top of everest. It's more of a flex of money then it is an accomplishment of climbing ability. Most people with above average fitness with a few months training could make the climb if they jave 100k sitting around. Have a watch of sherpa on netflix it's about the sherpa strike a few years ago, the climbers treated them like litteral slaves in one scean I remember a climber asking who owned some of the sherpas.
Yeah I've heard. It's shocking. Like most problems it's money related. Too many rich people paying people to carry too much stuff to the top and a government taking the money and not spending it to clean up the top of the world
You’re supposed to leave it cleaner than you found it. I wish this would apply to the tallest mountain in the world. On a side note, there should be robots capable of doing trash runs at this point in time.
