Social media challenges have been occurring often, some being witless while some profound. The newest challenge on the challenge is something productive.

Called the #Trashtag Challenge, it indeed asks people to make this world a cleaner place. The idea of the #trashtag challenge is to clean a littered place and post pictures of the good act.

In no more than a few days, the trend has caught on and people all over the world are enthusiastically taking part in this clean-up. Don’t you think it is actually a positive social media challenge, that we wished to see?

The first use of the trend #trashtag was done back in the year 2015. Now it resurfaced online when a Facebook post was directed at weary teens, asking them to be a part of this #Trashtag Challenge. It got virtually a new life as many youngsters joined along with more than 25,000 posts already on Instagram alone. Netizens took up the challenge in good spirit and began cleaning the littered places that needed a makeover.

Buritaca Beach Clean Up . La semana pasada nuestra comunidad se unió a una iniciativa importantísima de jornada de limpieza de playa y río en la desembocadura de el Río Buritaca. Fue una mañana de trabajo en equipo que nos dejó el corazón lleno y la playa limpia. . Sembrando semillas ambientales en nuestros chiquitos y jóvenes y despertando esa conciencia ecologica para que ellos mismos cuiden mejor su propia comunidad. . Dejando un ejemplo que inspirar para que estas jornadas se repitan cada mes. . . La idea es reunirnos todos el último Sábado de cada mes en este lugar para esta actividad ambiental. 9 am Desembocadura Del Río Buritaca/ Cabañas de Buritaca . . . Necesitamos más participación de nuestro sector turístico y escolar al igual a los mismos residentes de las veredas al rededor. . Gracias a las personas de nuestra comunidad que tuvieron parte de esta bella actividad. @catadelmar @caicomuyi @nou.chile @bombagrafika @la_sierra_artist_residency @carrie_bacon @katiepetersenlifting @gitanadelmarbeachresort escuela buritaca & los niños y niñas de las Cabañas de Buritaca. .
