Red Rebels face the Garoone river. Activists from XR put a giant banner reading 'Toulouse waters contaminated, who's protect our ground waters ?' on the Pont-Neuf bridge in Toulouse to denounce the public works industries as they operate gravel quarries in the phreatic tables of the Ariege and Garonne rivers. Red Rebels and Black Rebels played a scene and pay tribute to the Garonne river. However police intervened and forced XR activits to put down the banners. They confiscated the banners and also arrested two XR people amid a crackdown in France on ecologist campaigners. After extracting sand and gravel, they put public works waste in the quarries thus polluting the ground water with aluminium, polystyrene, concrete, etc. These phreatic tables are already running low due to the persistent drought in France and they are used for drinking water of Toulouse amid other towns along the Ariege and Garonne river. This warter is also used for irrigation. Toulouse. France. June 24th 2023.

Plastic garbage in the polluted Buriganga river in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on November 30, 2018. Bangladesh has been reportedly ranked 10th out of the top 20 plastic polluter in the world with the Buriganga river known as one of the most polluted rivers in the country due to rampant dumping of industrial and human waste. Like many developing countries, Bangladesh lacks the infrastructure to effectively manage their waste which causes problems in keeping the waters safe for human and aquatic life while dozens of tanneries on the banks of the river contribute industrial waste into the ground water. With June 5 designated by the United Nations as World Environment Day, Buriganga symbolizes the general state of many rivers in Bangladesh where growing levels of pollutants and plastic waste consume oxygen in the river, affecting seafood while fish consume bits of plastic which mimics their natural food sources and eventually lands on the dinner table.
