Environmental activist Rob Greenfield has taken to the streets of Los Angeles and surrounding cities, donning all the waste he's generated for a month.

With only a few more days to meet his 30 day challenge, Greenfield's already carrying around 28 kilograms of waste from all the food and drinks he's consumed.

To spread his message, Greenfield has exchanged his minimalist lifestyle for the 'Standard American Diet' for a month.

His trousers are stuffed with clanging drink cans, which hinder his movement, meanwhile his shirt is rammed with trash from all the food he's consumed.

Spotting Greenfield in the streets, Anne-Marie O'Connor was flabbergasted at the thought that she could be responsible for generating that much waste.

Although Greenfield has explored several awareness raising efforts in the past, including producing his own food for a year, he's most pleased with the positive outcome of his trash suit demonstration.
