Climbers told to carry 'poo pots' on New Zealand's famous Mount Taranaki after using its sacred summit as a toilet
Climbers are being encouraged to carry ‘poo pots’ when they scale one of New Zealand’s famous peaks after officials grew tired of its trails and sacred summit being used as toilets.
Human waste has become such a problem on Mount Taranaki that the Department of Conservation and Maori people want a law that forces visitors to bag their own waste and carry it down with them.
Mount Taranaki has cultural significance for Maori people, who regard it as a living ancestor and consider its summit to be sacred, 3News reported.
