About cleanliness on our streets

33-year-old Ken Noguchi ( Ken Noguchi ) since 2000, pulled from Everest about 9 tons of trash. The other day, he brought another 500 kg from the highest mountain.

“Japan has an economy of the first grade, and morality of the third” - a lot of rubbish is thrown anywhere its compatriots. The climber brought part of the debris from Everest to the Land of the Rising Sun (!) In order to conduct explanatory work.

Along the way, it turned out that in the Japanese mountains of garbage in bulk, so Ken began constant cleaning here. So, he, along with the volunteers, almost cleaned out Fuji. About 200 thousand people (one-third of the climbers are foreigners) climb the 3776-meter peak every year and prettyly trash it. The Noguchi team removed the most diverse stuff from Fuji: from a 27-inch TV and computer monitor to car batteries. In 2005, the cleaning of another mountain, Manaslu, began.



It may seem to someone that Ken only combines business with pleasure, but this is not entirely true: “To drag garbage from 8 thousand meters down to 6 thousand, again and again for two months - this is really difficult. Especially when it's hot, and there is a danger of avalanches. I was afraid to become garbage myself, ”Noguchi admits.

So, not all of us are so bad with cleanliness.
