What a waste: US campaigner wears his trash for a month


Beverly Hills (United States) (AFP) – We all know someone with a rubbish fashion sense, but Rob Greenfield is proud to be wearing garbage — it’s all part of a plan to show just how much trash we unthinkingly throw away every month. The campaigner is wandering the streets of Los Angeles and surrounding cities in a specially designed suit that holds all of the junk he has produced over the last few weeks. With just a few days left to go in his challenge, Greenfield is wearing around 62 pounds (28 kilograms) of rubbish generated from the drinks, snacks and meals he has consumed. “I want to create a visual that helps people to really see how much our trash adds up,” he says.
