Viral Internet Challenge is Spurring People Around the World to Pick Up Tons of Trash and Then Snap Photos
As far as internet trends go, picking up trash is certainly a much more noble cause than eating laundry detergent or ghost peppers.
Participants are challenged to find an outdoor area that has been littered with trash and take two photos of the scenery; one in which viewers can see the garbage, and the other in which they can see the revitalized area after you have cleaned up all the trash.
The impressive before-and-after #TrashTag photos have been circulating around the world – from Mexico and Belgium to New York and India.
The initiative is being lauded as a refreshingly impactful social media trend that is encouraging people from every demographic to participate in tidying up the planet.
The challenge is remarkably similar to the #StonerCleanupInitiative, an online effort that recruited potheads to pick up the trash around their favorite outdoor smoking spots back in August 2018.
Some people participating in the #TrashTag challenge have managed to tidy up roadsides simply by bringing along garbage bags on their day trips; others have boasted the dramatic results of organizing group cleanups.
Regardless, the photos are inspiring evidence of how – even though it can sometimes be a bit trashy – the internet has the ability to bring people together for the greater good.
