Effects Of Pollution On Mount Everest
Mount Everest is facing pollution issues due to waste left by climbers. Decades-old food cans and garbage remain frozen on the mountain, polluting the environment. While removing waste is important, climbers and environmentalists say additional solutions are needed to address Everest's pollution problems. Several organizations have launched cleanup efforts, removing over 13 tons of garbage from the mountain. However, as long as climbers continue leaving trash that they cannot carry back down, pollution will remain an issue for Everest.
