By now, there should not be a need to remind anyone why there is a need to recycle waste, especially plastic products. The following video below will make you furious, and also LOL at some level.
You can see a digger crane dumping rubbish from a stagnant pile in a fast-flowing river to the other side, so that the river is able to flow properly.?Instead of sending the garbage to a landfill or to recycle, it is dumped IN THE SAME RIVER.?
In what world does this logic work? If it won¡¯t clog one side of the river it WILL clog the other. Who thought this would be a good solution??
The video has been posted on Twitter by an account @AQI_India and it says that it is from the city of Novi Pazar in the south-western Serbian district of Raska.
One cannot ignore the obvious stupidity of the worker on the crane or the person who suggested this genius idea of relieving the bridge of congestion, but we also cannot ignore that people - common people - have made river a dumping ground. If you watch the video carefully, you¡¯ll notice that most of that garage is plastic which not only harms the aquatic life, but creates problems for humans too. The flood in Kerala, gave us a reality check when it washed on shore the garbage that people so carelessly threw in the water bodies.?
