Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, is facing a growing trash problem. Every year, hundreds of climbers attempt to reach the summit, leaving behind tons of waste. Items like oxygen canisters, food wrappers, tents, and even human waste are scattered across the mountain.Because Everest is so remote and cold, trash doesn’t break down easily. What gets left behind often stays there for years. As more people visit the mountain, the problem continues to grow. Some parts of Everest are now referred to as “the world’s highest garbage dump.”
In recent years, Nepal and local authorities have started taking action. Climbers are now required to bring back a set amount of trash. Clean-up missions are organized each year to remove waste, with volunteers and sherpas carrying down loads of garbage from high camps.
Still, cleaning Everest is not easy. Harsh weather, thin air, and difficult terrain make every trip dangerous. Some trash is frozen into the ice and hard to remove without damaging the mountain further.
The trash issue is a reminder that even the world’s most remote places are affected by human activity. Many believe that if we want to protect Everest, climbers must act more responsibly and treat the mountain with greater care.
