Polluted - Part II

I wasn't looking for this. I just happened to see an image on the back page of the Sierra magazine. It showed a picture of the Citarum River in Indonesia. It's "one of the world's most polluted rivers." ONE of? It's not THE most polluted?

These two images show men in canoes, salvaging what they can from the tons of debris floating in the river.

Now if those images aren't a writing prompt, I don't know what is. Send this to your favorite earth science teacher and sociology teacher and World Cultures teacher. There are prompts there for everyone.
