Not too sure where to share this, thought this forum section would be the best place as it's a project to remove plastics / rubbish from the Hennops River in Centurion.

Details (taken from their FB event):

Hennops River Rescue - an organised river clean-up event aimed at ridding the Hennops River (Centurion) of accumulated litter & plastic. The day will include early-morning yoga on the grass, as well as music, food & drinks, competitions & giveaways and a relaxed outdoor market area. We invite you to come along and lend a helping hand. Everyone is welcome!

Bring the whole family for a morning outdoors, cleaning, caring for and enjoying our beautiful surroundings!

The day will include:
- 08:00 - 09:00 / FREE 60-minute, outdoor yoga with The Yogi Paige at The Royal Elephant Hotel (Bondev Lawns).

- 09:00 / Talk by Willem Snyman from Fresh.ngo, followed by a short river walk (approx 700m) from The Royal Elephant Hotel (Bondev Lawns) to the river clean-up site.

- 09:00 - 12:00 / Clean-up on the Hennops River banks to remove accumulated litter & plastic / clearing of alien vegetation / inauguration of the first section of the 'Old Elephant Paths' Hennops River Walking trail / eco-brick making with unrecyclable plastics / outreach to the Bagerezi (waste collectors) riverside community.

Maybe more relevant for this section, but what are peoples' take on EM (Effective Micro-organisms).
Sounds a bit like a gimmick. Also the research hasn't confirmed if it works or not for river cleaning.
Even the inventor admits the results cannot be consistently reproduced. Although there are only a few studies done.
