webfact Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Volunteers clean up Chao Phraya River over weekend (PHOTOS) By Coconuts Bangkok Photos: Clean Up Bangkok River/Facebook In just one hour of cleaning, volunteers collected 132 kilograms of garbage from the Chao Phraya River this weekend as part of the Clean Up Bangkok River project. When they finished, they had amassed a lot of plastic: 2,000 bags, 700 bottles and 600 cups. They collected waste from the river by boat and along its banks with nets wearing rubber gloves. There were many groups from the various city embassies as well as unaffiliated volunteers. The cleanup covered the main metropolitan area, 6 kilometers from Yodpiman Flower Market to Rama III Bridge, reported Bangkok Post.

wpcoe Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The picture shows what appears to be water hyacinth plants plucked from the water. There must be literally *tons* of that stuff in the Chao Phraya. 132kg would be a mere drop in the bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack61 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 If that is all they pulled out it's hardly worth reporting but it offered a few photo opportunities I'm sure. A pithy bandaid applied to a gaping wound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
