Often times, the internet is littered with hashtags that have no significant impact on the quality of life lived by humans, but #TrashTag is quite different.
In the last few days, #TrashTag was adopted by a lot of young people. It is an inspiring hashtag that motivates young people to create pictures of a dirty environment before and after they clean it and the turnout has been shocking. Young people all over the world took up the challenge, bought boxes and garbage bags, and posted photos of themselves cleaning up their local parks, beaches, and wilderness areas. This is amazing!
The trend, which started on March 5, was made popular by Facebook user Byron Román who shared a photo of himself issuing a challenge to “bored teens” asking them to “Take a photo of an area that needs some cleaning or maintenance, then take a photo after you have done something about it, and post it.” And the rest was history!
