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.
Here’s two more picture that suggest that’s really a river, the one with water:
If you’ve been wondering what river is that and its location, the river is called Citarum located in Indonesia. Someone should be responsible for causing this. It’s nothing different from murdering to me, as the water is still used now for daily activities - drinking for example.

I thought, in the first picture, that it was a rubbish dump, and that the “boat” was one of the stuff! Yeah, somebody should GO TO JAIL for allowing this to happen in the first place.
