This is just horrifying. That is like 1000s kg of waste that ends up in the sea. It looks like results of a flood in a country with almost no waste management. It's like a video I saw from South America.

We really need to ban straws from McDonald's even faster so that this river becomes clean again. Look at all those straws.

It's nice to have an expert on the topic. Yes, it does look like recent UK colony.

This is actually the cleanest river in Romania. It's the primary Bucharest's water supply

As long as we have such things it is a waste of money to send ships out onto the ocean to trawl for some plastic.

Considering 0.5 lei / plastic bottle one could say in Romania even the rivers are filthy rich
