World's tallest waste dump

World's tallest waste dump

There is a growing problem on Mount Everest - one which is causing a big stink. Human waste is being left by climbers on the world’s tallest mountain, causing pollution and threatening to spread disease, the chief of Nepal’s mountaineering associations said. With more than 700 climbers and guides gracing the slopes during the two month climbing season leaving urine and feces, the issue is getting increasingly worse, AP reported.
