In each and every effort of DGS, we are committed to project longevity, collaborative maintenance, and community engagement. The work that we do would not be possible without the dedication of our on-the-ground partnering organizations.
MOUNT EVEREST
NEPAL
Coming full circle to where this project began, we continue to work on waste solutions on Mt. Everest and in its surrounding communities. DGS, as a part of the Hike for Help and CO School of Mines’ Everest Sanitation Project, has begun the implementation of a multi-year waste management proposal to provide sanitation facilities to the Khumbu Valley.
In 2019, DGS had the opportunity to partner with the Torres Del Paine Legacy Fund to continue the efforts of our board member, Garry Oye, to bring sustainable waste management to the national park. With one urine-diverting toilet operating, the materials for two more are on-site to be installed before next season.
