As more people visit Mount Everest, trash is being left behind in Sagarmatha National Park and hard to manage. What are your thoughts on this issue?
Humans destroy the environment wherever they go. Tourism in the Himalayas should be curtailed.
There maybe no trash container and they must provide a proper waste disposal or a container!
@@Gazetteer-ch3pp, Trash containers😁😂🤣??? This is not your urban park. Climbers should be required to carry ALL their trash with them!
Don’t let them carry it at first place . It’s like airport security. There should be an entrance and later checkup.
Leave nothing but footprints.
All good hikers pack out ALL they pack in.
👁☯👁
This is the side of things they don’t show on TV
2019: The tallest mountain is Mount Everest.
2030: The tallest mountain in the world is A Big Pile of Plastics In The Ocean
Surrre, u keep a track of all TV programs of the world. Yep
They show this kinda stuff on TV all the time... Idk what you're talking about mate.
But it’s on tv..
Do they even show environmental PSA's anymore on tv? I look around and it's easy to see where the slobs have been and just how numerous they are ..
Instead of "requesting" it should be a requirement to pack out garbage or you can't climb.
I agree with you
That's terrible! All that trash in such a beautiful place people should be ashamed of themselves.
Agreed.
specifically these so called mountain climbers
It's a sad sight to see. Hopefully conditions will improve with the attempts to keep the park clean!
I'm definitely not impressed with the wealthy mountain climbers who go there to play and leave their trash, they should be ashamed. Disgusting. To top it off, it appears the native people aren't dealing with the trash in an acceptable fashion.
They don't have any shame, just look at the state of public W.C.
This kind is thing absolutely boils my blood, it makes me so purely enraged with human beings and the immaturity and Idiocy that people all seem to share. I just want the world to be a beautiful place, I want animals to live healthy lives, I want children to enjoy and be amazed by the sights of nature. But, as this video shows, even the most amazing things that nature has to give us can be ruined. Thank you Nat Geo for posting this, I don’t think many people knew of this till now.
They should have removed their trash every year. This is what people do. We destroy everything we touch!
you infidels do it
we're always cleaning other pests trash
Nepal is one of the most corrupted country. Most People in power are uneducated and put zero effort to preserve beautiful places gifted to us by nature
People are monsters....
The real trash is the Humans littering the mountain
@@prabin1637 People from nepal didnt do this.
I never could imagine that on Everest is such a big mess...!
@Daniel Appleton yeah...! But people should do something there!
Daniel Appleton He did it ONCE...so why does everyone need to copy him?
Unbelieveable! How can someone not take their Trash with them?
Because it's a 45 mile walk out back to Lukla.
@@davem8836 maybe don't go then
If you can't hull your trash out, you shouldn't be going.
Thing is, they go for Instagram posts, not for the achievement. And if they can't go, they fake it.
I agree.
I’ve never seen a video like this before, that was incredible! The 360 effect was astounding! It felt like I was there and that made the impact of the message so much stronger for me. I had no idea it was like that.
Thank you for doing this. If we don’t take care of this planet we don’t deserve to live on it, period
There are words in an old song which says "everyone's gone to the moon" (1960's ?) Maybe foresight...
Really great effort. Often we look into beaches, seas, and the air being polluted. Hardly any coverage is done on the increasing amount of trash and plastics in our beloved Everest.
Revolting.....I'm not a happy Clapper or hippy, bit if you go to look at something amazing, leave it amazing in a good way when you leave
Hopefully visitors will do their part in properly disposing of their trash!
We need to clean our planet from filth and dirty in order to have clean air. Great video.
2019: The tallest mountain is Mount Everest.
2030: The tallest mountain in the world is A Big Pile of Plastics In The Ocean
We agree with that sentiment. It's important to keep our planet clean!
*Nice video idea!*
Makes you see things from different perspectives
This is umbelievable! People who are so motivated and dedicated to climb this would then do this type of thing? Unbelievable! How can people be so mindless????
no wonder that mountain kills so many of us, we deserve it...
Not "we", just the dummies that are destroying it
That's why k2 doesn't want anyone to come.
GOdaddy isdown We? Us? Are you effing stupid?
Absolut❤️👍, We arrogant people are plague
@@torbendinesen7121 Not all of us. I'm not too important to pick up my own and other peoples refuse. These so called climbers are and should be banned until the mess is cleared and guaranteed to be kept as found.
Humans destroy the environment wherever they go. Tourism in the Himalayas should be curtailed.
This is why Bhutan is so strict when it comes to tourists
@@morbidsearch Very smart move. The same should apply to the Galapagos and all other ecological treasures of the world.
Lack of respect and gratitude.
Blessings NAT GEO please don't forget the oceans 🙏 YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND !
I dont't get it. Is it that hard to keep your trash to you when visiting such remote places? Or rather, any places? I feel like the wealthiest people are also the most ignorant most of the time.
Right on. Well said!
Don't know if it's any comfort, but tourism on more accessible mountains across China for example left these littered with trash by consumers from across the wealth range even back in 2000. I unwittingly contributed with a coke bottle myself on Mt Emei as a macaque came up and stole it from my belt with impressive speed and ease.
But with modern era wealth, and as adventure tourism becomes industrialized, it's increasingly a numbers game. And great wealth in combination with great ignorance or indifference means the most potential for pollution per visitor of course. Arrogant new-rich posers etc play an unmistakable part but litter and plastic is a systemic problem. It also reflects the value system of the contemporary culture of the littering person, earnings aside.
So easy to fix , requires that people take what they brought in.
Yes, surely they could catalog what each climber starts of with. On return they could show the empty containers\packages, if not banned\fined.
What about The Dead Bodies? 😳💀💀💀💀💀
360 videos have really gotten a lot better
Having every climber bring back trash is a great idea
Leave nothing but footprints.
All good hikers pack out
ALL they pack in.
👁☯👁
These "360" videos are AMAZING.
My name is Muhamad Mirdan from Smk Bakti Nusa, Bogor Regency. In my opinion, climbers should not litter. Because if the climbers keep littering it can damage the surrounding ecosystem, its natural beauty, and the climbers' comfort.
Mt. Everest needs a New Jersey style waste management union.
This is horrible reality of human negligence, ego and empty mind. One one alternative, no go zone for people!
People who post pictures of themselves on the peak.. They've contributed to this mess. They shouldn't be praised, they should be shamed
Thật là tuyệt vời khi xem video 360!
Geezus 😥 this is heart breaking
Pack it in, pack it out. That's the responsible climbers mantra.
Having tourists slowly trek it out is a very reasonable solution. I'll happily lug a few kilos if I can.
Leave nothing behind but your footprints.
Well, that and maybe "smiles on peoples faces" and memories.
They'll still leave a big carbon footprint
@@moaningpheromones Yah, understood. Now that it has become basically a Tourist Attraction, that's inevitable probably, but if they're serious about cleaning up and keeping the human impact as small as possible, it can at least be sustainable. Stay safe!
Subtitles: Voice of Ang Dorjee Sherpa (as is written on screen)
Starts at 1:14
“50 years ago, Namche was not like it is now. In those days, we had Sherpa traditional houses with small windows, doors, and roofs made out of wood. In 1990, the number of tourists started increasing from around 8,000 to 10,000 tourists per year. Likewise, the amount of waste was also increased. We didn’t have any waste management then, so most places became littered. At that time Tyangboche Rinpoche and all local people thought that we had to take initiative to manage the waste, (and) that was how SPCC was born.”
Stops at 2:20
Starts again at 3:06
“Starting this spring we decided to involve tourists in the conservation and waste management of this area. We are requesting each individual tourist take one kilogram of waste with them from Khumbu back to Kathmandu. Of the 50,000 visitors, if only 50% of them take the waste from Khumbu to Kathmandu, then 25,000 kilograms of waste will be taken back to Kathmandu. We are hoping for that.”
Stops at 3:43
Starts again at 3:55
“I think Khumbu is a lot cleaner than in the past. But in the next 10 years, we would like to create a proper waste management system, with recycling, upcycling and minimizing waste at the source, which has been a big challenge in the last 10 years. For now, the mountains are still littered and we are still doing clean-up campaigns.”
Video ends :)
It's a shame of humanity that in frenzy of conquest we forget about nature
love this video, thank you
Its takes two months to climb Everest. Up to higher camps to acclimate and back to lower. Every climber should have to bring down 10 lbs of trash during acclimation climbs. They are going up for a day to acclimate then returning to a lower altitude returning to the lower camp. Usually three times at each stage. When the next lower camp climbers arrive in a higher camp to acclimate bring it back with them. rinse and repeat through all the higher camps until it works it way down the mountain. It would be cleaned up in one season. There ought to be some market for Everest trash souvenirs. Those villagers will sell about anything to tourists.
GREAT VIDEO I WASN'T AWARE THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DESTINATION BECOMES POPULAR
Are you aware of lower case letters?
With that many people it would be a miracle if there were no trash
Worst part is that some climbers would defend this for the sake of ''safety'' in regards to ascending and descending the peak.
So much effort spent on topics that don't matter. If the trash is such an issue ban tourism.
Ain’t no laws when you’re drinking claws.
I love Nat geo
Me, too.
Oh first time i saw the 360 vdo on TH-cam..
Wow
Important issue, and the 360 degrees video is perfect for it because of the place.
2019: The tallest mountain is Mount Everest.
2030: The tallest mountain in the world is A Big Pile of Plastics In The Ocean
Single Everest has this much trash imagine oceans seas
The video is awesome..
.. 360..
Omg I can turn the camera round/up or down by moving my phone!
This is the first time noticing I can do this!
What so unbelievable
Fine the companies. That'll learn em!
This video is so cool, and yet disturbing!
Did anyone else notice what's wrong in this video? Snow and glaciers. Even up on Everest it's looking dry.
It's interesting to hear the word garbage...may be the need for the word in Nepalese didn't exist before 1990?
At some point i'm going to figure out how to watch these with my Oculus.
Wow I never know that . Nice video
Magnificent ingenious how we can pan An look around by our phones 📱 wow 😳
😁 this gives hope
Good Job Godspeed Sincerely from LarryWhittington
devilspeed. sincerely - a satanist
Is this only audio?
Excellent 🇮🇳
Every where you look there is no end to laziness and greed. When are we gona grow up??? Sigh!
Look up wow
People be like: I am going to triumph the Highest peak in the world and make it dirty on the way and the human population is proud of them too.😂😂😂😂
Show respect! Take your trash with you.
Superb.
I love that quad camera, but is expensive like a car
That 360’ degree camera is weird
I thought I was filming it
We need to take Children to see this with their own eyes! 👀
Ever heard of "Pack In, Pack Out"?! It is mandatory in many US wilderness areas... and WORKS!!! It sickens me that people are so selfish to think that "someone else will do it"! COME ON PEOPLE!!!
If climbers can't take their trash with them increase the rates to fund a waste management system and retrieval crew.
Mars awaits! Oorah!
Make it a legal law ; anybody who climbs mount Everest needs to carry a certain amount of waste back down
$11000 for a permit, $50k for expedition, I mean what's more to say... The Nepalese can pick up a trash bag for those prices.
Cool :)
Pack it in, PACK IT OUT!
Yo this is cool
The climbers should have the rule, Pack it in pack it out....period!
Hiking just to post something on social media.
Well I like to hike and show others on TH-cam how to go up different mountains. I’m still very responsible with my trash and footprint I leave behind
@@KevAlberta you're a good example sir.
Zest Gaming thanks Zest!
I thought the rule was: "Leave no trace"
So take back all your trash, don't destroy the area and most important respect the environment
No - "Hide it under a rock" just as they do in the kayak-overwhelmed beaches in Tasman and Golden Bays, New Zealand.
That sux. But I head it costs 10s of thousands per person to climb mt. Everest. If true they can afford to clean it up. 35,000 climbers a year. Do the math.
Yup, just looked it up $11000 per person for the permit and the govt can't setup a trash collection system that sends it back down the mountain...1000 ppl per yr=$11,000,000 per yr....blame the govt not the people paying as well as hiring Sherpas....tourist go away what do you think Sherpas family's will eat, not hope and change?
@@wakeboardbob yes the government is responsible for having waste management but consider the people who only visits the mountain and leave not a trail of footprints but of trash. Who's gonna pick that up? They don't pay maids to pick their trash up. They themselves should be responsible of the things they bring.
35,000 people do not attempt to climb Everest annually. Maybe 1000 begin seriously and there were a similar number of permits issued but only 800 ascended it in 2019.
I want to know why wasn't the face of the person who was being interviewed face shown.
They should STOP ALL CLIMBS.AND CHARGE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT PUT THE TRASH THERE.
If you can pay a sherpa to hold your hand up the mountain then you can pay him to pack your trash down the mountain.
Pwople needs to see this!
It's disgusting. If the rule here in the states is "You Pack it in You Pack it OUT" Why is this not mandatory there.. It's shameful.
Why this video is in 3D?? Is there any way to fix it?
Not surprised in the slightest.
This is a freaky video. You can pan, like on google maps street view!
Omg!
these climbers ahould be ashamed of themselves. How sad!
Can we capture 360 type videos from mobile?🤔
interesting video
This 360 iš hurting my 👀
Why is humanity so filthy?
Humanity is trash....just look at everything weve touched.....
We're made from the dust of the earth. At least that's what we used to think. What makes it worse is that people still think this way. If only people could appreciate the beauty and likeness of the one who created everything,
This 3d thug really made me trip balls
Ooo no o my god
They should charge 1m$ on tourism
Sad. The world needs to see the truth for what it is. Shame on those that destroy beautiful things
