At 8,844.43 meters high, Mount Qomolangma is the tallest mountain on Earth. While it is famous for its beautiful views, parts of the mountain are facing a problem: garbage.

The polluted water and soil on the mountain has already been a cause of environmental concern （担 忧）in China, Nepal and India.

Local residents （居民）collected about 8. 4 tons of garbage at heights of 5,200 meters and above in 2018. The local government is also setting up stations to sort（分类），recycle and break down garbage collected from the mountain. A group of artists will also try to turn the garbage into artwork. They will show these works of art to remind people not to leave garbage behind when climbing the mountain.
