Over the past six years, nonprofit group Sungai Watch has cleaned up about 5,500 tons of non-organic waste from rivers across Indonesia. Jumping into waterways swamped with trash is “one of the most uncomfortable” situations imaginable, and yet the group’s co-founder tells CNN why he and his team keep doing it, day after day. #cnn #news #indonesia
