Every action counts

Mountaineer Bernardo Fonseca embarks on a challenging journey to the summit of Mount Everest, to deliver a message to the world about the importance of conserving mountain environments, showcasing both their beauty and vulnerability.

The film portrays how he discovered ongoing positive initiatives for waste management and cleanup, from the villages of the Khumbu Valley to the high-altitude camps, and how he was inspired by both locals and outsiders who are making a difference.

The film encourages self-reflection on how we engage with mountaineering from the perspective of sustainability and the impact the sport generates, and it proposes individual actions as “one more step” toward protecting these natural environments.
