<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#757575;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left"><br>
Mirroring the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, participants post a photo of themselves (on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) with a bag of trash and challenge 5 friends to clean up a bag of trash and pass it on (tag, you're it!). Let’s clean up North Carolina one person and one bag at a time!<br>
<br>
You can help NCWF engage 500 people to pick up at least one bag of trash in their communities. Together, we hope to remove 12,500 pounds of trash from the environment and raise awareness about litter and its impact on wildlife, water quality, and neighborhood aesthetics.<br>
<br>
The Trash Tag Challenge officially kicks off on August 1st. If you'd like to be the first in your network to pick up a bag of trash, please post the following blurb on your social media page with a photo of yourself with a bag of trash as soon as today to get it rolling! Below is the Facebook version (Instagram= @ncwildlifefed and Twitter=@NCWF).<br>
<br>
<span style="color:#0000cd">Trash harms wildlife through suffocation, strangulation, ingestion, and more. Terrestrial, aquatic, and avian species are all negatively affected by the trash in our environment and so are we!<br>
As part of @NCWildlifeFederation’s habitat restoration project, I participated in cleaning up at least 1 bag of trash. For every 25 pounds of trash removed from the environment, 1 tree will be planted. I now challenge the 5 people below to pick up 1 bag of trash and post a photo with their trash. If you were tagged here (tag, you’re it!) please copy and paste this post and tag 5 of your own friends to clean up a bag of trash. <br>
