    Excerpt
    Each morning, a group of Filipinos rakes up piles of trash on the banks of one of the world’s most polluted rivers, filling sacks in an endless pursuit to clean a waterway that is also a major source of ocean plastics. These “river warriors” are a decade-old group of about 100 people who work to clear the glut of garbage floating or washed up along Manila’s notorious Pasig River. The 27-kilometer river cutting through the Philippine capital was once a vital trade route. But urbanization and poor sewage planning have left the river all but dead.
