This is environmentalist Rob Greenfield.

He's walking through Los Angeles and other US cities wearing all the trash he's produced for a month.

Greenfield's one month challenge is almost finished, but his suit's already weighing 28 kilograms from all the drink and food packages.

He usually lives a zero waste lifestyle but, for a month, he's decided to eat a normal American diet to make people think about their waste.

His suit is full of packages and wrappers from all he's bought.

Now, the trousers, full of drink cans, are loud and difficult to walk in.

Anne-Marie O'Connor feels ashamed of the amount of waste she might be responsible for creating.

Greenfield's come up with different ways to make people aware of the environment.

He's even grown all his own food for a year.

But he says that his trash suit has been the most effective way to spread his message.
