There’s a not-so-new internet challenge now picking up traction that has people cleaning up the planet  and showing off their efforts online. From litter-filled parks to beaches awash in plastic waste, participants are posting photos from all over the world as part of the viral challenge.

The #Trashtag Challenge has been around for a few years already, but it’s gotten a second wind in the past week—even in the last day or so. The revival came after Facebook user + posted a challenge for “bored teens” who need something useful to do.
