Outrage over 'disgusting' tourist behavior on Mount Everest prompts call for change.

A video showing the amount of trash left by hikers on Mount Everest has sparked outrage and raised concerns about the environmental damage caused by human activity on the mountain. The litter includes discarded oxygen containers, food containers, abandoned tents, and even human feces. Hikers are also putting the health of local communities at risk by leaving excrement on the mountain, which can wash down into the mountain’s watershed and expose people to waterborne diseases. The Nepalese government requires a $4,000 deposit for each hiker to cover the cost of the cleanup, but some are calling for stricter regulations and enforcement of clean climbing practices.
