Fed up with the pollution caused by frozen corpses on the world’s tallest mountain, Nepal’s lawmakers are working on a new bill to reduce the rate at which they’re piling up by requiring the would-be corpses to either expire on other peaks in the country or just not expire there at all, CNN reports in not so harsh terms about the corpse situation in the nightmarish void.
The way they see it, mandating that climbers first ascend one of the many other 22,965+ ft peaks in the country before being eligible for a permit to climb Everest is a sensible solution to the corpse problem, even if it’ll cause obvious issues in an economy dependent on such corpse production.
