Nepal Government on the world environment day yesterday cleaned the highest peak in the world. Nearly 11,000 kg of waste from the Himalayas was brought to Kathmandu. Most of them were given to the recycling process to make new things out of the trash. The saddening fact is that they also brought four dead bodies from the Himalayas. As of this climbing season, more than 11 are feared dead in the Himalayas. Even on the Indian side of the Himalayas in Nanda Devi, 8 climbers are feared dead due to an avalanche on May 27.
World Environment Day:
Every year the United Nations has announced June 5 as the environment day from 1974. It is to bring in awareness of safeguarding mother earth. Since the earth is the only place for human beings to live, UN is announcing a theme for every world environment day and a country to host it. As yesterday was the environment day with the theme of air pollution, the Nepal Government has taken the right step of cleaning the highest peak in the world.
