Gymmie2235 on February 2, 2026 7:42 am Fun fact thats not so fun: 100% of manmade plastic comes from humans!
maafinh3h3 on February 2, 2026 7:42 am Surprised seeing Amur here, also no Ciliwung? It river flows inside greater Jakarta 40 million populations and also known as world dirtiest.

Specialist_Spite_914 on February 2, 2026 8:06 am These places receive a lot of second-hand items from wealthier countries. After that, they barely have any use.
Wachtwoord on February 2, 2026 8:06 am I’ve seen this map plenty of times and I’m amazed by the Hai He. How does a tiny ass river I’ve never heard of contribute so much

This map is almost a decade old now

100% of the Polluting plastic in the ocean comes from humans
Tigris-Euphrates is the goat.
Yet we in the west get all the blame
That’s also, what, 2/3 of all humans?
