Grab a trash bag. Grab a few friends on a free afternoon. Clean up your surroundings. Help change the world.

That’s kind of the premise of the new viral challenge, an online movement we can all get behind. Especially Vancouverites! Why wouldn’t we want to protect our beaches and parks more?!

If you need encouragement — keep clicking on #trashtag on Instagram…every day there is more proof that people CARE about the planet! Stemmed originally by a Facebook post from Byron Román, who asked his peers who might have a bit of time on their hands to help out and then post a before and after. Here are just a few of the posts under #trashtag:
