Everest through the eyes of a Sherpa
I wonder if tourism shouldn't be considered a form of pollution, and if the countries that export the most tourists shouldn't also pay a tax similar to a carbon tax towards cleaning the damage they do to the local environment.

Many places have a tourist tax already. In this case, like the article says, there's a $11000 tax for each person climbing the Everest.
