AT the first glance, what can you see in the picture above? I thought the man was on a rubbish dump, and the boat was one of the rubbish when I first saw this picture. Until I read further, only then I realize that it’s actually not a rubbish dump, but a very polluted river.

The picture above shows no sign of a river to me, to you too I suppose. The man above is actually collecting things like plastic bottles to be recycled and can probably earn a pound or two a week by doing so. People now fish for rubbish at the river, instead of fish.

If you’ve been wondering what river is that and its location, the river is called Citarum located in Indonesia .
