I never knew. Since 1953 when the first expedition scaled Mt. Everest there has been a steadily accumulating mini mountain of rubbish left behind by climbers and tourists. Saving Mount Everest is a project to remove the EIGHT TONS of trash the visitors didn’t take back with them and to teach the locals about solid waste management. Add this to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch that is about the size of Texas and you have proof that there are human pigs everywhere thinking that the earth is their own personal dumpster.
