In yet another blatant reminder of how insensitive the human species has become when it comes to protecting the Earth and its environment, a video allegedly
from Everest Camp 4 surfaced on social media and went viral. The clip showed the camp heavily littered, with trash and plastic waste lying all around the area. The clip was seemingly recorded by two mountaineers, who were equally shocked to see the condition of a place that was once an achievement for humans. From food, Coke bottles, and abandoned tents to plastic bags, random plastic containers, and more- the clip showed the area full of things that were supposed to be inside trash-bins. The clip left most netizens fuming and even concerned. The rest demanded stricter punishment against such problematic behaviour, while some called for better rulers and regulations. Times Now could not confirm the details of the post. Check out the viral post: “Once seen as the final push toward the summit, Everest Camp 4 now tells a troubling story of human impact, with piles of garbage and human waste exposing how even the world’s highest peaks are no longer untouched by pollution,” the post read. The post was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘Times Now’. The post was shared today, and pulled many views from netizens.

“It's always sad to see all this,” a user said. “This will never be okay. Humans really are the most invasive species. The Earth will be better without us, and that is the only truth,” commented a second internet user.
“Can we do clean up activity here like a CSR thing, I am sure there'll be some way to do it...like an all sponsored trip to clean the mountain,” commented the next person in the comments section.

“What is taken up filled and heavy can also be brought down empty and lighter. Its Nepal Govt who has to make rules on the mountaineering trash and implement it vigorously,” added the next internet user.
