Since 2019, he has been conducting daily cleanups in an effort to make his local park spotless.
Currently, he’s on day 1,026 of what he’s dubbed as#EarthCleanUp.
He recently told alocal television stationthat he estimates that he’s collected over 15,000 pounds of trash.

What he does with that trash after it’s been collected is equally impressive.
He cashes in all recyclables and donates the money to different environmental charities.
Some of the money has even been put toward planting new saplings in his local park.
Well done and congratulations!!
But now, his actions have sparked others to make their own daily trash cleanups.
The hashtag#EarthCleanUpis filled with others taking his example and making it their own.
The hardest part about becoming a climate activist is taking the first step, heshares.
Just pick something and be vocal about it.
It doesnt matter how little you are involved, just do something.
21-year-old climate activist Edgar McGregor has been going on daily cleanups in his local parks since 2019.

Trash pickup day 1,017.
This was a 20 minute pickup.#EarthCleanUp
Spent 2 hours collecting sea glass.
As many of you know, I keep all the recycling I collect on my daily trash pickups.
I turn the recycling in for money which I then donate.
This guy inspired me to start picking up trash in my local park.
30 L of litter picked up today.
Great habit to get into, I’ll give a shot to pick up some litter this weekend.
