JUNKYARD POST COMPR 

Mt. Everest was an untouched area of plants and animals before the 1950s. Now it is a trash heap. A large number of climbers scale the mountain each year and they threw a lot of rubbish on the mountain. The environmentalists have organized campaigns to remove the trash. A new law requires each hiker to bring down 18 pounds of garbage, otherwise, it will be banned to climb the mountain. Mt. Everest is called “the world’s highest junkyard” because of the continuous increasing garbage.
