Many people visiting Kerala stay on houseboats, but I chose to stay in a floating cottage overlooking the backwaters. My cottage faced east, so I had a phenomenal view of the sunrise every morning. When I awoke in the wee hours one day, these men were already hard at work. Interestingly, the fishermen of Kerala have taken the problem of plastic pollution into their own hands. While out fishing, they keep the plastic rubbish they bring in with their catch and bring it back to shore. It’s recycled and ultimately used to make roads in rural areas. @_theweekendexplorer
