EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the alarming reality of water pollution in Shanghai, China. The photograph, taken by Aly Song on March 21,2016, showcases a polluted river winding its way through the cityscape. The image is a stark reminder of the environmental issues plaguing this bustling metropolis. The river's once pristine waters are now marred by an overwhelming amount of rubbish and plastic waste. Discarded bottles and other debris float aimlessly along its surface, creating an unsettling scene that highlights the extent of human impact on nature. With no people in sight, the focus remains solely on the polluted river itself. The creative use of perspective from above emphasizes just how widespread this issue is across Shanghai. It serves as a powerful visual representation of our collective responsibility to protect and preserve our environment. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but feel a sense of urgency to address these challenges head-on. It serves as a call to action for individuals and governments alike to prioritize sustainable practices and find innovative solutions to combat water pollution. In capturing this poignant moment in time, Aly Song reminds us that every decision we make has consequences for our planet's fragile ecosystems. This image stands as both a testament to our destructive tendencies and an opportunity for change – urging us all to strive towards cleaner rivers and healthier environments for future generations.
