Every year, over 600,000 budding climbers scale Snowdon, highlighting the urgent need for better waste management and responsible practices among visitors to preserve the natural landscape.
Tom Carrick emphasized the critical need for behavioral change, stating, 'I still believe this is only the start of this work,' and acknowledged the staggering amount of single-use plastics littering the mountain.
Environmental advocates recommend a Deposit Return Scheme to reduce waste, with Dom Ferris stating, 'We know from European case studies that a DRS can significantly decrease litter and promote recycling.'
Despite extensive clean-up efforts, a significant amount of litter remains on Snowdon, illustrating the ongoing littering crisis affecting popular outdoor locations across the UK.
