Why bother, the amount of people that climb Everest and other peaks high enough to maybe need O2 is it worth the investment?

I trekked to Everest base camp 10 years ago, in a 2 month walking and climbing expedition around the Himalayas with Tashi Tenzing, Tenzing Norgay's grandchild (One of the best trips of my life). Anyway The amount of spent O2 bottles and rubbish at base camp was just staggering, even after some major clean-ups. I reckon the last thing you need is piles of spent indicating sorb all over the mountain as well.

Cheers
