The thick patches of garbage at the upstream of the Nam Non River, in My Ly Commune (Ky Son), recorded by Nghe An Newspaper reporters are truly haunting.
Video of garbage flooding the headwaters of Nam Non River. Clip: Tien DongInformation from the people of My Ly commune, Ky Son district: Recently, the situation of garbage being brought in, densely packed along a long stretch of the Nam Non river has caused serious environmental pollution and affected waterway traffic. Immediately, Nghe An Newspaper reporters set out on a journey of more than 250 km to record the incident.

It is not difficult to see that the green color of a long stretch of river has disappeared, replaced by the color of garbage.

Approaching the riverbank, the stench of dead trees and animals is strong. Photo: Tien DongAll kinds of garbage drift into this part of the river, from trees, animal carcasses, and plastic waste. Locals said that this situation has been occurring for over a month now. In addition to the garbage clogging the river, making it difficult to move on the river, this area is also full of flies, mosquitoes, and serious environmental pollution. People feel very worried about their health. Photo: Tien DongWhat is special is that in this area there is a lot of plastic waste, many pesticide and herbicide bottles with foreign labels, drifting here. These types of plastic waste become a hazard to the environment if not treated. Photo: Tien DongAmidst the vast amount of garbage, moving on the river is very difficult.

This is expected to be carried out in the near future. Photo: Tien Dong
