No matter how much you love swimming I’m willing to bet the farm you wouldn’t dare do it here…unless you have a death wish!
This is the Citarum river, in Indonesia, possibly the most polluted river in the world, due to mankind’s greed and insensibility regarding environment. Once one of the most beautiful waters in Asia, now the Citarum is a graveyard of debris, where locals, who can no longer fish, risk their lives scavenging for bottles and anything else they might sell for a small profit.
wow weeping….very candid remarks….but sadly I lived in Indonesia for a year and I agree with your observations.
Same could se said for the whole human race…seems we need 50% of our time just to tell folks the need to live within our means
Not necesary due to “mankind’s greed and insensibility regarding environment”. It’s the population excess that leads to this. The best way to address pollution is decreasing human population.
it will be shame for the citizen of Indonesia
It’s really disgusting. Is it the citizen fault or the government fault? The government of Indonesia should educate and increase the awareness about conserving Mother Nature among the Indonesians.
