Here's How the Internet Reacts:
One user wrote, "congrats humanity we’ve managed to litter the top of the world too." While another wrote, "Why do humans have this tendency to destroy everything they touch?"
One user wrote, "Nobody should be allowed to pay big money to climb that beautiful mountain until every last bit of trash is cleaned up, and every person showing up is forced to pack out what they pack in... NOT the Sherpas... the climbers. They are far too pampered."
Another user commented, "Mount Everest didn’t get ruined by locals. It got ruined by rich people chasing “spiritual awakening” at 29,000 feet and leaving their sh*t behind. Literally the highest dump on Earth."
"It's shocking. The garbage problem on Mount Everest needs to be solved! These people are so uneducated. But there is nothing we can do," one user commented.
