Apa Sherpa has begun climbing Mount Everest for a record-setting 19th time, and will take a message to stop climate change to the planet’s highest peak.  I would be impressed by the climb alone, but the fact that the Buddhist climber will call attention to the precarious state of our environment is especially admirable.  He will carry a WWF banner that reads: “Stop Climate Change - Let the Himalayas Live!” and a metal vase containing 400 Buddhist offerings up to the 8,848 metres high summit.  According to Apa:

The disastrous impacts of climate change are visible in the Everest region. It is a warning to the mankind before it reaches a tipping point.

Apa will lead the 40 member Eco Everest Expedition and will also call attention to waste left on the mountain.  Check out this video about the impact of climate change on Himalayan glaciers:
