Mar 1st, 2020 : Worlds Highest Dump

We've been chastising people for trashing the oceans. But one group have gone beyond finger pointing and tongue wagging.
These stellar citizens of the World are leading by example.



They go to considerable trouble, not to mention expense, to dump their trash as far as possible from the ocean.



Then take a selfie with the trash to show the world what good Do-Bees do...
not to be confused with New Jersey gangsters do-be-do-be-dos.

It looks like hell, but when I consider it, I think it isn't really a problem. There's no stream runoff up there. No living creatures up there are having to deal with the trash. It's entombed up there and isn't going to get washed out to sea where turtles get tangled up in it. The Everest climbers have to look at it. Boo hoo. They put it there.

The glaciers on Everest are melting and throwing out decades old garbage, equipment, bodies and human excrement by the dumpster load.
