About cleanliness on our streets

33-year-old Ken Noguchi ( Ken Noguchi ) since 2000, pulled down 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 the moral is third” - a lot of rubbish is scattered around its compatriots. A climber brought a piece of garbage from Everest to the Land of the Rising Sun (!) In order to conduct explanatory work.

Along the way, it was found that in the Japanese mountains of garbage in bulk, so Ken began a constant cleaning here. So, he, along with volunteers, practically cleaned Fuji. Approximately 200 thousand people (a third of the climbers are foreigners) climb the 3,776-meter summit every year and pretty much litter it. Noguchi's team removed the most diverse trash 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 the pleasant with the useful, however it is not quite like that: “It’s really hard to drag garbage from 8 thousand meters down to 6 thousand, again and again within two months. Especially when it is hot, and there is a danger of avalanches. I was afraid to become garbage myself, ”admits Noguchi.

So, not one of us is so bad with cleanliness.
