This could make a dramatic impact since apparently 80 percent of plastic that ends up in the oceans comes from the rivers
The Ocean Cleanup’s latest invention the “Inceptor” was created to tackle that problem. The solar-powered barge is created specifically to suck river debris into dumpsters and then bring it onshore for recycling.

So my town has banned plastic bags at the grocery store because Asia and Indonesia use their rivers as a giant toilet. Sounds like the best thing we could do for the planet is to nuke them.
But it's not really about saving the planet, is it? It's about obtaining power.

"The nonprofit managed to collect two shipping containers full of trash from the area over the years." Poor reporting or lame accomplishment.

People in my community treat their trash with more care than some people treat their kids. It's time to talk honestly about the sources of global pollution.
Looking at you Asia, Indonesia, and Africa.

Where do you think the garbage of your town is going? They are not recycling 90% of it. They send it to those countries.

As if the rivers are producing plastic by themselves
