Mount Everest:
The Highest Garbage Dump in the World?
Most people know that Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. However, there is another fact that many people don’t know: it has become one of the dirtiest mountains in the world.
Mount Everest is one of the toughest and most exciting mountains to climb on Earth. It is not the coldest or the windiest place on Earth, but it comes close! These challenges make it one of the most attractive mountains for serious climbers. Since 1952, over 3500 climbers have reached the top. Unfortunately, most of them have left equipment and trash on the mountain.
In fact, trash is now one of the biggest threats to the environment on Mount Everest. Local organizations have brought tons of trash down from the mountain. One of the most interesting projects handed over more than a ton of tin cans, glass bottles, and old
climbing tools to artists in Nepal. The artists used the trash to create works of art. Then,they sold the art to raise money for local charities.1 The least expensive work of art cost $17, and the most expensive one cost $2400.
