Tons of plastic all the way to Everest

Everest becomes a plastic peak: Shocking photos reveal piles of tourists' trash as locals run out of space to bury it

The waste is produced by tons of plastics, beer cans, whiskey bottles, steel food containers, and other solid waste lodge owners import to satisfy the 100,000 tourists who arrive at base camp every year. Burning it releases toxic poisons into the air, and the buried and burned garbage does the same for groundwater supplies. Tourists were being made sick because of human waste being dumped into local rivers. (Photo credit: www.dailymail.co.uk/)
