People Are Picking Up Trash in Parks and Beaches for the Viral ‘Trashtag Challenge’ – Trend We Needed Today
We hear about some crazy and dangerous challenges most of the time but now we finally have a viral trend to be proud of.

What the ‘trashtag’ challenge is?
It may seem there is a new viral hashtag every day on social media, but the #trashtag challenge is a trend with amazing purpose — its users are cleaning up the planet.
Tens of thousands of people have caught onto the trend over the years.
The take part in the challenge is very easy – all you need to do is to take a photo of a location, be it a beach, park or trail, strewn with litter. Then clean the location up and take an “after” photo of their handiwork.
While the trend dates back several years, a March 5 post on Facebook from user Byron Román appears to have breathed new life and directed it toward teenagers.
“Here is a new #challenge for all you bored teens,” Román posted. “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. Here are the people doing it #basurachallenge join the cause.”
“Due to teens lately making the news about Tide pods, Bird Box, and now the Momo challenge. Maybe I could inspire a few to do something positive,” said Román.
The idea soon spread, with some social media users incorporating “trashtag” into their weekend trips.
Here are some of the most inspiring examples of the viral trend to clean our planet together:
