Rubbish on Everest

This evening I saw a video showing the rescue of some poor hikers caught in a blizzard on Mt Everest and that led to another video showing drones collecting people’s rubbish that had been left lying about. The two were not related so I’m not saying these hikers had left the crap.

I mean, what the hell are people doing desecrating such a pristine environment? It should be one of the remotest places on Earth yet there appears to be nowhere that’s safe from this behaviour. For heaven’s sake people, just take it with you!

As the saying goes, “leave only footprints, take only photographs” .

Yep least they can do is carry a bin bag back down of all their rubbish.

It blows my mind that people would do this!
