Less and less fish he caught. Even, he often came home empty-handed. As a breadwinner, he had to think a lot about his life. He said that he could no longer be called a fisherman.

Instead, he should be called a scavenger because he collected and sold plastic waste to make a living. He collected the garbage from the same river he went fishing - the Citarum river.

The Citarum river was often labeled as the world’s most polluted river. Every day, no less than 20,000 tons of waste and 340,000 tons of wastewater are thrown into this river.

The wastewater came from around 2,000 textile factories. The waste killed the fish and destroyed the environment.

The Citarum river is the third-biggest river in Java but since then, the fish were largely gone. In total, almost 60 persen of its fish species was no longer found in the river since 2008.

As the river contained chemicals that killed the animals living in and drank the water, there were dead animals floating along the waste and trash.

Not only the river’s bad smell and color, but also the polluted water made people suffer from skin and respiratory diseases and farmers lost their crops.
