This is what plastic pollution really looks like. After the flood, everything got caught here… foam, wrappers, bottles, even a soaked mattress wedged into the roots. The crew moved fast, pulling sack after sack from the current before the waste sank deeper or drifted further downstream. It’s exhausting, muddy, and sometimes overwhelming work. But this is what it takes to keep rivers alive. Because when the river clogs, it’s not just water that stops flowing, it’s health, livelihood, and life itself. #oceanconservation #beachcleanup #plasticpollution #protectwhatyoulove #sustainableliving #cleanocean #4ocean
