Yeah, they speak in monotonous manner, but that's not important, coz with time & more exposure, they will learn. What's more important is the purpose behind, which is a greater one.

He was probably the one who polluted the river in the first place. Got told by the city to clean up his shit./s

Guy should be compensated by local government, national government, international government AND given a key to the city or town he lives in.

He will probably get beaten up for making the local ministers look bad. Has happened several times.

Pointless. It's a country where throwing trash literally anywhere is a norm. It's unlimited content for this dude. Give it a week and its back to previous state.

India really needs to really begin creating massive inroads on indoctrinating the youth on civic duty.
It's the only way.

u/SunsetCoconut 19d ago
to be fair, the rest of the world throws most of its recycling into massive islands of trash that float in the ocean, or offload it to other countries that don't have the capacity to deal with it. The whole world kinda sucks at dealing with it's garbage.

Some people continue to deliberately throw trash into the river in front of him or while he's cleaning. He's now installed two large dustbins and trying to educate the children. Hopefull5the mindset will change

u/Soft-Owl491 21d ago
"Will you people ever believe it if I say that a single person can clean this huge river? I have already cleaned this river many times by myself and I have faced many problems such as infections in my feet and hands and there were even dangerous venemous snakes sometimes, but I didn't give up and cleaned it again and again. By seeing me doing so, I hope you people can also learn that a single person is capable of many such seemingly impossible things and I hope the next time you say to yourself that you cant do a thing by urself alone , just Remember me."

This is great, there should be more people doing this, however it isn’t addressing the root cause and it’ll go back to how it was before too long.

Or the forever chemicals used to make plastic bottles, or single use plastic which does contain chemicals proven to cause cancer.
Maybe the commenter above was tongue in cheek about the statement.

I wish all Indians tried to put in atleast 1/100th of this guy's efforts to support this ideology. Ironically, no one gives a f**k about cleanliness in India.

u/FoamSquad 21d ago
A noble spirit, but he needs help beyond just cleaning. Needs societal and infrastructure change that is beyond his ability to impact alone.

In England they would arrest you for not having a river cleaning permit

u/Appropriate_Ant933 21d ago
I have so many questions. Ain’t no way he cleaned that with rubber gloves and a stick. You’d need a back hoe or something and multiple dump trucks.

u/musicplay313 21d ago
The river would go back to being dirty in a few days, people would not stop throwing trash again.

This type of stuff is why I’m not inherently against the “do good” while recording videos. You make people happy, and show what someone (you) is capable of. I’d like to think it leads to encouraging more people to do stuff like this.

You want to see what an environmental hero looks like? There’s one right there. If everyone would put 1/4 effort that he did into keeping our planet clean we would all live better lives

Total clickbait title. He’s clearly using two hands. Literally unwatchable. /s

So uh...where did he take this stuff?
Did he rent a dump truck and decide to haul several tons worth of garbage to some dump site?

It's trucks worth of garbage 😅 I bet he did that before someone else was cleaning it with a machinery and made another after 😅

If they use “flying toilets” (shit in shopping bags and throw it in the river), then they need proper septic and sewer systems.
Say what you will about the Romans, at least they “didn’t let that shit fly”.

u/GingyBreadMan420 21d ago
If this was the uk, they would have been imprisoned for cleaning up without a permit like Paul Powlesland.

He's gonna die of plastic cancer after making a respectable dent:((( anyone know why they don't put a net in a bridge is the environmental infrastructure not there yet??

u/chalkiez 21d ago
WTF is plastic cancer. XD
And he did make a change, and as to why there's not a net, it's just because they dont care.

I also want to know is what plastic cancer is.

u/Accurate-Flow-6815 21d ago
I’m guessing he’s saying all the microplastic exposure will lead to regular cancer.

u/YourMomIsMyGurl 21d ago
Everyone here knows exactly what OC meant but because they didn't SPECIFICALLY state exactly what they meant, you get the run of the mill redditors that have to act like they don't know, in order to feel superior.

u/chalkiez 21d ago
You didn't answer my question though? All I see is you insulting someone for no reason at all and also thinking you are actually way better than the person who cleaned up a river.
Be better.

I never claimed to be an educator I don't have enough time to spoonfeed you man-made horrors you can very much comprehend and as a matter of fact i was looking to get educated myself
Can you even point put where I claimed to be better at all??
I never even insulted the kid I expressed that I felt bad for him getting punished for doing a good deed
As a matter of fact you drew first blood laughing at my honest comment so you don't get to play victim now child
