The second photo shows him standing on the same place but the trash on the ground were all picked up and put into trash bags.

Take a photo of an area that needs more cleaning or maintenance, then take a photo after you have done something about it, and post it. Here are the people doing it #BasuraChallenge #trashtag Challenge, join the cause. #BasuraChallengeAZ”
