Poll: Trash on Everest
May 12, 2009
I was really stunned to read Alyssa Danigelis' blog today about trash on Everest. I've heard that there is a problem with trash on the mountain, but didn't realize the extent of it. The thing that stuns me most is that even the most basic hiker, camper, or backpacker has heard of the "leave no trace" policy, the idea of carrying out what you carrying in. So what's up with the Everest folks? Are they special because they're taking a greater risk? Or should they be held to stricter guidelines because the place they're exploring is revered so? What do you think?
