From remote oceans habitats to the world’s highest mountain, our litter is everywhere. Despite the fact that far fewer people go climbing or trekking in the Himalayas than take a cruise, their impact is still felt. Tourism is vital to the economy of Nepal , as it in many non-industrial countries. But for decades , climber have been abandoning their unwanted equipment on Everest. For the few years, clean-up team have been organising expeditions just to pick up the rubbish.
The team are made up of local and international climbers. One group has brought over eight tons of waste down from the mountains! But their actions don’t stop there . The Japanese teams, for example, have also been educating other climbers back home in japan about being more responsible on the mountain.
