This weekend, the trashtag challenge inspired people to go to locations covered in garbage, pick up the trash, and post before and after pictures on social media

Instead of encouraging social media users to do something potentially dangerous, like choking down a spoonful of cinnamon or sticking a shot glass on your lips to copy Kylie Jenner, an altogether more wholesome viral challenge is spreading across the web.

smh I thought that was my dad -.-

OK I have mine done,,, Now Pay me. TRASH is gone hahahahahahaahahahaah

My 80 yo Mother has to pick up trash every day from her front yard. It's dangerous b/c she lives near a busy road. People just throw trash out as if yards are trash cans. They enrage me. So,I am brought to tears to see so many GOOD people giving us hope. Thank you all ❤️trashtag

trashtag This is a dream come true. I worry about what we are doing to our earth and cannot understand why intelligent humans cannot simply put trash in the many bins placed everywhere. Litterers should be shamed and ostracized-They are not good people, for they destroy life.

Great!but this can't happen in my country.

Start in san Francisco. Sanctuary city looks like a 3rd world landfill. Thx democraps

Sounds like FoxNews cleaning up where FAKE NEWS trash was thrown around

Thank God for the kind and the good people. They are our teachers. trashtag

I’m going to do the exact opposite, I’ll take a before picture or a beautiful area and then take an after picture of what I leave behind..... Just kidding relax.

This brought tears to my eyes and is a dream come true. I couldn't be prouder. I hope this never ends. Our government should now do it's part and create laws that would penalize any who are too lazy to put trash where it belongs. On both land and in our precious oceans.

'I took pictures in reverse order. It sure was a beautiful park before I got social media famous!'

Hahahahaha I doubt these countries are participating! ......they’re too busy blaming us (the USA) for their foulness..... 🍻

Don’t do nothing! Individuals picking up plastic off the shorelines is a start. Save a animal! It feels good. saveourshores plasticpollution

If everyone just spent 5 minutes out of their day to pick up garbage, can you imagine what an hour could do

Wonderful job humanity restored

👏👏👏

Really your joking right. Because in my town the homeless people leave trash all the time but we got people that go out for many years and clean up and put it all over social media. So to me there is no difference.

then

its gonna take a miracle to clean all the oceans ▪ ▪
