Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Soup broth is damaging South Korea’s highest mountain, warn officials
Does eating spicy cup noodles at the top of the mountain sound
alluring? If you finish the noodles and soup and bring back the empty cup, you are
welcome to do so. But if you dump the leftover salty broth on the mountain or
in its streams, it contaminates pure water streams in the mountain. That is
what the National Park Office of Mount Halla, about a 2,000-meter-high mountain
on Jeju Island, is now warning hikers, where smoking, littering, leaving food,
drinking alcohol, and jaywalking are all prohibited at the mountain and a violation
could cost up to over $1,000. Though it has become trendy to eat hot noodles on
high peaks not only in Korea but also even in the Alps, the broth should not
contaminate the nature of the peaks and streams. Maybe Shin Ramyun, South Korea’s
most popular Ramyeon brand, should come up with an environmentally friendly version.
Read the article and learn about how cup noodles could contaminate nature.
