US Campaigner Wanders LA Streets Wearing Trash

Environmental activist Rob Greenfield walks around Beverly Hills, California May 16, 2022 wearing a suit filled with every piece of trash he has generated living and consuming like a typical American for one month to raise awareness about how much garbage just one person generates. (AFP)

Since he launched his awareness campaign, Rob Greenfield has been wandering the luxurious streets of Beverly Hills, wearing around 30 kg of trash packed in his clear plastic suit.

"For most of us, trash is out of sight, out of mind. We throw it in the garbage can and it goes away, and we never think about it again. I wanted to create a visual that helps people to really see how much our trash adds up," he told AFP.
