It was the glorious day of May 29, 1953 when a pair of climbers Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal scaled the highest peak of world, the Mount Everest for the first time and paved a new era for mountain climbing. Since then several thousand of climbers have recorded their conquest of Everest. And so is the rising pile of the litter and is forming a mountain next to the Everest. Courtesy: nepalesecultureandtourism.com The oxygen tanks, food cans, bottle of drinks, mountain climbing gear and human waste are the main problem in the region. Not much interest is shown to clear up the litter and government along seem unable to invest such a huge amount to clear the mess. So, it is being a chronic problem of the people of the region. Courtesy: treehugger.com Locals and all the people related are afraid if the problem isn't addressed soon, it is going to make a negative impact on the beauty of the tallest peak of the world. So, it has become a necessity for everyone to turn their interest towards cleaning the litter.

Not only this. I saw a r eport in ZEE NEws which highlighted that the entire snow covering the Mt. Everest will melt away because of global warming. Imagine the calamity that it will cause

This is really shocking. Thank you for highlighting this issue. My brother has recently gone for a hiking trip in Borneo. They were strictly warned that all trash generated by them must be brought back to the city to be disposed. No plastics or disposables were allowed to be left behind. Even soap had to be bio degradable. We must make sure that our actions contribute to environmental conservation and nature does not have to pay a price for our activities.
