When I was 14, annoyed with how much trash I was seeing at the fishing spot along a river near my home, I set out to clean up as much of it as I could.

This little project started a personal tradition where, each year in the early spring, I would clean up a section of woods that was filled with litter - usually a lake or stream where I liked to fish in the summer months. I'd get 100lbs of trash or so and feel good about myself, there wasn't much to it beyond that.

Then, in spring of 2024 I was briefly unemployed, and I decided to go out clean up as much litter as possible. A friend recommended I try putting it on social media and thus, The Trash Plan was born.

I don't take this thing too seriously, and neither should you. There's enough doom and gloom on the internet, especially about the dire state of the environment. We know how bad everything has gotten, we don't need education - we need action. So lets go pick up some garbage and post some fun little videos while we do it.
