I read somewhere that it is now a requirement to bring down a certain amount of trash when climbing Everest.
"Past efforts have been made to remove the trash, including a 2014 rule requiring all climbers to bring back at least eight kilograms, or roughly 17 pounds – the estimated amount the average climber leaves on Everest, according to the Kathmandu Post."

Question? What happened to the “you pack it in, you pack it out philosophy “. Aren’t mountain climbers supposed to be epic earth lovers?
