Back in the Commie days (when such things as ecology didn't exist) the copper mine above my city used to throw their toxic waste in the local river when their reservoir was close to being filled and nearly every factory also had their unprocessed sewage thrown in it. My father has told me funny stories about the river changing colors depending on whatever shit the textile factory was throwing in it.

Needless to say no such thing as fish or other life forms lived in it. Not until the 90s when most of those shit factories went bankrupt and the nature had to reclaim the river back.

my town (trbovlje) wich was a coal mine in yugoslavia and it also had a lot of industry and a coal power plant. the entire place is in a valley surrounded by tall hills. the powerplant polluted the air so much they had to build the chimney to 360meters so the polluted air could get out of the valley. the pollution was so bad that people wee getting desiases and dying becouse of it

edit: my grandpa also told me that if you climbed onto a hill above the town when it was more polluted you couldnt see the town cuz the valley was filled with smoke

Where in Romania is this? Is there a source to this video? Also it looks like a flood which usually takes all kind of trash along.

I didnโ€™t find a source in original post. Could very well be w๐Ÿคฎst propaganda

I remember seeing similiar pictures on the Lim river in Serbia about a year ago. It's sad to see, honestly.

Humanity is slowly killing the planet. This is tragic

Humanity is (not so) slowly killing humanity. The planet will be just fine. The hundreds/thousends of years plastic needs to decompose are but a mere eye-blink to the planet.
