I guess all the envirowienies at the UN need to go and clean up thast international heritage site. They need something to do, rather than playing politics and screwing up the world.

Not only is trash a problem on Mt Fuji, but there is a forest at the base of the mountain that is known as a place for people to go and commit suicide.

Word search: "Aokigahara". I can't remember how to make a link in HTML. (Shame on me.)

fyi Fuji-San means Mr. Fuji. Fuji-Yama means Mount Fuji. I live in Japan and I used to see streets and sidewalks as clean as Singapores. Then the Enviroweenies came and now we have to separate everything by color coded bags that we have to pay for. People got fed up and now I see trash that has been thrown from car windows all over. Its a shame what the Enviros did to the environment.

"Fuji-san" means Mount Fuji in Japanese

Is it a REQUIREMENT that reporters be stupid?

Fuji-san = Mr. Fuji, or maybe better, Honorable Fuji.

Fujiyama = Fuji Mountain.

Mt. Fujiyama = Mount Fuji Mountain...

Still, many volunteers have mixed feelings, worrying a World Heritage designation could mean more tourists, more traffic and more trash

That has to rank as about the stupidest thing I've read today. As if there are people in the world who would never hear of Fuji if it wasn't a UN World Heritage Site and that those same people would only visit Fuji because it was.

On Glenn Beck’s program, there was a CNN “Heroes” segment with that guy who has started a club that cleans up the approx. 80,000 pounds off trash from the mountain. Most of the offenders are Japanese. Ramen noodle wrappers, TVs, refrigeratoes, etc. marr the landscape. it is pretty disturbing.
