Shocking video went viral on social media

A video showing Mount Everest covered in snow and garbage is going viral on social media. The video has broken people's hearts. In the video, plastic polythene, old clothes, empty oxygen cylinders, and torn tents can be seen scattered across the snow. Social media users say that this video is from the year 2024, but the situation remains as precarious today. The images clearly show that human negligence has not spared even the world's highest peak.

This special appeal was made to the people

Shared from an ex-account called Everest Today, the video was accompanied by the caption, "The garbage piling up at Camp 4 is deeply saddening. While humans survive on oxygen, the mountain itself appears to be suffocating under our waste."

The post also stated that protecting Sagarmatha is not an option, but our responsibility, for nature, for future generations, and for the values ​​we stand for. It also called for stricter regulations, cleaner climbing, and solid waste management.
