  1. I’ve read an article about pooping in mountains and trails.
  2.  
  3. Many folks who hit the trail think it’s just fine to leave the poop itself behind. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
  4.  
  5. Michael Loso, glacier geologist concluded that Denali—a peak in Alaska, and North America’s tallest summit—is in serious danger due to hikers’ poo.
  6. For the past decade, hikers marching up the to Denali’s summit were told to pitch biodegradable bags full of feces into deep, dark crevasses(szczeliny) along the way. But Loso estimates(szacuje) that much of the of human waste ditched(zrzucone) there from 1951 to 2012 is probably still intact(nietkniete).
  7.  
  8. Of course, this isn’t a new issue; poop poses a problem pretty much anywhere people like to hike. And it’s especially irksome on high, frigid summits where people can’t simply dig down deep into the dirt to do their business. Some have referred to Mount Everest, for instance, as a “fecal time bomb.
  9.  
  10. According to Loso’s years of research, most of the poop probably stays close enough to the glacier’s surface(powierzchni lodowca) to remain(pozostawac) just below freezing, where many strains of bacteria(szczepy bakterii) can thrive(rozwijac).Much of the waste might begin to reappear(pojawiac sie) in remote spots as ice melts. Not only hikers wil be subjected to the sights and smells of thawing stool, but also visitors who rely on melted snow for drinking water will be more likely to take sips(lyk) contaminated with dangerous bacteria and parasites(pasozyty).

  14. In short To solve this problem we have to pitch our fecals into deeper crevasse which is deep enough that dropped deuces should not pose problems for future hikers.
