They "are a bigger worry" Providing enough electricity & water for the small communities surrounding Everest becomes very challenging when there are tens of thousands of additional tourists & climbers competing for these resources. along the trail towards Everest there are now restaurants and cyber cafes and bars, and this just doesn't seem right.'

9. Solutions The Nepalese authorities are now pushing climbers to use metal containers, which can be brought down in crushed form and then recycled, rather than plastic or glass. "if we keep the area clean, it means more business for tour operators, local people and porters". The Nepalese government now makes expeditions pay a deposit, which is only returnable if they bring their rubbish back down. Clean-up climbs, and financial incentives for porters to fill empty bags with mountain litter "Things are improving, the area is getting cleaner, people are much more cautious about their garbage,"
