xoB finds both these wire service images which highlight remarkable pollution problems in the East. First, above, these guys are collecting plastic for recycling, out of the rest of the crap in the Citarum River in Indonesia. The official cap notes that this river is a source of clean drinking water for many cities in Java island. Well, probably not *clean* drinking water...

And this is a pond near Wuhan, China; they say 275,000 pounds of fish died in three days due to water pollution.
