It’s clear at this point you’re not able to have an unemotional conversation about it. Your anecdotal experience as someone dropping the cost of a down payment on a house on a vacation to a place with serious, long lasting issues with the tourist trade and talking to two dudes you are paying isn’t the same as a team of journalists investigating. You keep saying documentary for some reason, which is only revealing you didn’t even bother reading the very extensive article I linked. If you’d like to discuss specific points from it you’re going to have to read it. It’s also grasping at straws to pretend using electricity in a city is just like the environmental destruction or human exploitation happening to climb the mountain.
I hope you find less destructive and exploitative hobbies in the future.
Firstly, your link didn’t show on my phone… It changes nothing. Checking it changes nothing
You’re a hypocrite, because “underpaid workers” collect your rubbish, and throw it into a hole nearby (probably in farming land). And despite being in an environment where you can eliminate trash completely, you choose not to, whilst preaching to others that they’re destroying the planet. It’s inconvenient to your argument, which is why you’re shrugging it off.
Whats crazy, is that the second time I went to nepal, I actually met one of my ex-porters at a tea house on the way, and we said hello. Apparently, they are all exploited so badly, that they saw me, and wanted to chat with me again.
I operate a free hiking group in my free time, which is likely less environmentally damaging than you sitting at home on your computer. I guess the people who join my trips owe me credit for any walk they do too?
You were noticeably quiet about any volunteering (I bet you don’t even help your local park rangers by joining clean up days). I guess doing nothing however is ok.
I literally am friends with a few Nepalese people that I met in Nepal… who added me on Facebook after getting exploited (apparently). Weird thing to do by them. Actually, my friend (who is nepalese, but lives in Australia at the moment) has mentioned she hopes to summit one day too.
You call people gross all you want to justify your lack of ambition. But, you have no idea what you’re talking about (which became clear even before you mentioned deforestation in your desperate attempt to seem credible)
