Environmental campaigner Rob Greenfield's wandering the streets of Los Angeles and neighbouring US cities wearing his rubbish.

A specially designed suit holds all the junk that he has produced over the last few weeks.

With just a few days remaining to complete his month-long challenge, Greenfield is already wearing 28 kilograms of rubbish generated from drinks, snacks and meals he has consumed.

Normally, he leads a minimalist life but to demonstrate his point, he decided to eat like an average American for 30 days.

The legs of his trousers are filled with drink cans that inhibit his walking and clatter when he moves.

The rest of his suit is filled with the packaging from all the food.

Anne-Marie O'Connor spotted Greenfield on the street and was shocked to realise how much rubbish she could be producing.

Greenfield has attempted different ways of raising awareness in the past, including growing all his own food for a year.

However, he feels this new public demonstration of waste has been a great way of reaching people.
