Every time I see these garbage-clogged rivers I think it shouldn't actually be that difficult or expensive to scoop all that trash out with machinery, a relatively minor civil engineering project, compared to something like a dam construction, but then I realize that there are a billion jeets upriver just throwing more garbage in so it's pointless without first nuking the entire country. This would create it's own ecological problems but I honestly wonder if a little radiation is worse than a billion tons of plastic bags and street food condoms flowing into the ocean every day. At least radiation is a natural phenomenon and nature has mechanisms to deal with it.
