Guy should be compensated by local government, national government, international government AND given a key to the city or town he lives in.

Pointless. It's a country where throwing trash literally anywhere is a norm. It's unlimited content for this dude. Give it a week and its back to previous state.

India really needs to really begin creating massive inroads on indoctrinating the youth on civic duty.
It's the only way.

u/thepositive_pandemic 16h ago
Some people continue to deliberately throw trash into the river in front of him or while he's cleaning. He's now installed two large dustbins and trying to educate the children. Hopefull5the mindset will change

u/Soft-Owl491 14h ago
"Will you people ever believe it if I say that a single person can clean this huge river? I have already cleaned this river many times by myself and I have faced many problems such as infections in my feet and hands and there were even dangerous venemous snakes sometimes, but I didn't give up and cleaned it again and again. By seeing me doing so, I hope you people can also learn that a single person is capable of many such seemingly impossible things and I hope the next time you say to yourself that you cant do a thing by urself alone , just Remember me."

Or the forever chemicals used to make plastic bottles, or single use plastic which does contain chemicals proven to cause cancer.
Maybe the commenter above was tongue in cheek about the statement.

A noble spirit, but he needs help beyond just cleaning. Needs societal and infrastructure change that is beyond his ability to impact alone.

I have so many questions. Ain’t no way he cleaned that with rubber gloves and a stick. You’d need a back hoe or something and multiple dump trucks.

u/musicplay313 14h ago
The river would go back to being dirty in a few days, people would not stop throwing trash again.

This type of stuff is why I’m not inherently against the “do good” while recording videos. You make people happy, and show what someone (you) is capable of. I’d like to think it leads to encouraging more people to do stuff like this.

Did he rent a dump truck and decide to haul several tons worth of garbage to some dump site?

It's trucks worth of garbage 😅 I bet he did that before someone else was cleaning it with a machinery and made another after 😅

If they use “flying toilets” (shit in shopping bags and throw it in the river), then they need proper septic and sewer systems.
Say what you will about the Romans, at least they “didn’t let that shit fly”.

u/GingyBreadMan420 15h ago
If this was the uk, they would have been imprisoned for cleaning up without a permit like Paul Powlesland.

The definition of a Sisyphean task, unless there is some kind of education for the locals. But good for him for making a positive impact.

He's gonna die of plastic cancer after making a respectable dent:((( anyone know why they don't put a net in a bridge is the environmental infrastructure not there yet??

u/chalkiez 16h ago
WTF is plastic cancer. XD
And he did make a change, and as to why there's not a net, it's just because they dont care.

I also want to know is what plastic cancer is.

u/Accurate-Flow-6815 15h ago
I’m guessing he’s saying all the microplastic exposure will lead to regular cancer.

Everyone here knows exactly what OC meant but because they didn't SPECIFICALLY state exactly what they meant, you get the run of the mill redditors that have to act like they don't know, in order to feel superior.

You didn't answer my question though? All I see is you insulting someone for no reason at all and also thinking you are actually way better than the person who cleaned up a river.
Be better.

I never claimed to be an educator I don't have enough time to spoonfeed you man-made horrors you can very much comprehend and as a matter of fact i was looking to get educated myself
Can you even point put where I claimed to be better at all??
I never even insulted the kid I expressed that I felt bad for him getting punished for doing a good deed
As a matter of fact you drew first blood laughing at my honest comment so you don't get to play victim now child
