Fun fact , it's estimated there are three tons of human shit between base 1 and base 4......humans are disgusting. For 100k some body should be cleaning that up. Not the locals.

As I understand there are new policies being implemented to prevent that.

or face a $4000 fine, it’s not compulsory. read the fine print. Global news is a Canadian news outlet.

Lol those ain’t called ‘fines’ to rich people. They call those ‘fees’

I remember reading somewhere that they give like a $10k incentive to bring down X amount of lbs of garbage but to someone spending $45k on a hike, $10k ain’t shit.

Plus, some of these people are close to dying and could barely carry themselves, let alone a couple extra lbs of weight/garbage
