"China to build highway on world's tallest mountain" http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-06/18/content_6259691.htm Not wanting to scare monger (too much) I was going to use the actual title from the article but it wouldn't fit! China seems hell-bent on making the 2008 Olympics something huge. I suppose in the greater scheme of things building a paved road right up to Mount Everest Base Camp is a lesser evil than the many other acts environmental damage happening everyday. Still, pretty hard to ignore. Thoughts?
