Nepal To Turn Everest Trash Into Artwork For Environmental Awareness

In an environmental awareness move, Nepal has planned to turn the trash left by Mt Everest trekkers into artwork. Project coordinator Tommy Gustafsson, founder of Sagarmatha Next Centre, said the move will involve foreign and local artists into this initiative. Reportedly, the artworks will also be sold as souvenirs to tourists and the proceeds will be utilised for conservation. Moreover, under “carry me back” initiative, the visitors' participation will be sought for garbage disposal.
