The River Cleaning Machine Poem by Terence George Craddock

The River Cleaning Machine

Rating: 5.0

there is a little hope now
more hope as each day passes
there are river cleaning machines
to clean the most polluted rivers
to help prevent the worst river polluters
from spilling huge tonnages of plastics
into all earth's vast connected oceans
these are huge constantly working machines

cleans waste water human waste from rivers
a huge project identified over 90% of all plastic
in world oceans comes from just 8 world rivers

huge boats were built started removing plastic
from these horribly polluted rivers; yet all clean ups cost;
the question is who pays; not terrible polluting cities;

not worst polluting countries; what is the total cost of clean up?

what is the cost of no clean up?
