Mate (this goes for everyone, for everything), if your conscience is irked by something, check it out and action acordingly. It happens for a reason.
We slowly cease to become human when we fail to do that.

It's alarming that a lot of this post is about "Man, how will I ever get my climbing holiday in now"
Please don't ever preach any "So long as I'm not hurting anyone, I can do what I like" sorta trash. The world is too symbiotic for that drivel.

Read Steve H's nice long post. Read it again, and think about it.
I'm certainly not telling anyone you should go to south east asia to clean up. I'm not telling anyone to not go to climb. Rather, listen to what God/the universe/your conscience (as you please) tells you. Act accordingly.

Sorry to upset people, but sometimes boats need rocking. How you react can often be an indicator of character.
You might say that some big boats have been rocked in the indian ocean. How will you react?
