Social Trekking is a new concept in environmental awareness efforts, wherein tour operators and organizations committed to environmental conservation organize 'green-treks' to encourage people to recover and bring back garbage from environmentally sensitive glacier regions. [1] Social treks are part of 'low impact tourism' efforts, [2] [3] designed with the aim of minimizing the carbon footprint of the event, while also recovering and bringing back any garbage found on the way and/or at the destination, usually situated in ecologically sensitive far flung hilly areas, where local municipal committees fail to ensure proper garbage recovery.
