There is a new craze among netizens. And unlike a dance along a moving car, or throwing a bucketful of ice on friends and folks, or gulping a tablespoon of cinnamon without puking, this new challenge is one that is super beneficial for everyone. It is, probably, one of the most worthwhile and constructive challenges that have come up in recent times. It is called the #trashtag challenge.
This challenge is simple. It requires people to go to locations that are littered or filled with trash. Then, you clean up the place and post the before and after pictures on social media. Now, isn’t this an interesting and inspiring challenge?
The ‘#trashtag’ has been trending on social media and volunteers have been cleaning up public spaces, parks, and beaches. And this has been happening across the length and breadth of the globe, with people right from Belgium to Nepal posting their pictures.
There have been over 28,000 posts with the hashtag on Instagram and many more on Twitter. Don’t believe us Have a look at a few for yourself!
