Hong Kong protesters showed up the rest of the world’s demonstrators when, after a 2 million-strong march, they worked through the night to ensure not a scrap of trash was left in their wake.
The mass protests against an unpopular China extradition bill took place on June 16 and, after the 3km march was over, the diligent demonstrators worked into the night to ensure the streets they had marched on were not left strewn with litter.
Images circulated on social media showed young people working to pick up rubbish late at night, with a few doing a final sweep of the area the next morning.
This isn’t the first time Hong Kong protesters turned litter collectors after a march. Following the June 12 protests, demonstrators returned to the protest site to clean up after themselves.
The hardworking Hongkongers made a lot of other protesters look bad in comparison. When thousands of protesters gathered in London to show their opposition to President Donald Trump at the start of June, they left a trail of rubbish in their wake and were accused of hypocrisy for demonstrating against Trump’s climate policy while littering themselves.
Occupy ICE protesters in Portland sparked anger when they left their protest site looking like a scrap heap in 2018. Even the Dakota Pipeline protesters left millions of pounds of garbage behind when they were evicted from their demonstration site in 2017.

There’s NO DIVERSITY AT ALL!!!
Doesn’t matter if they didn’t act like the animals do here.
They need to diversify
We could send some to help them achieve diversification.
They sure weren’t liberals.
I was at that rally. While there were some piles at garbage collection points...the Mall was spotless. Made me proud.
Antifa should pay a little attention.
Same in South Dakota...my husband keeps remarking about how there’s no trash ANYWHERE!
Yup. I went to a tea party protest at the state capitol about 10 years ago. Not one scrap of trash on the ground.....
South Dakota is great cept for all them prarie dogs
Sounds like a Tea Party rally, to which we’d welcome them!
Liberals celebrate Earth Day by completely trashing the National Mall!!

I was there. The Capitol Police had removed most of the metal trashcans because the left had convinced them that tax conservatives were a violent mob. There were only two or three around the front of the Capitol. Reports varied, but there were between 500,000 and a million people there, unlike the Park Service official undercount for conservative or Republican events. The small amount of discards that wouldn't fit in those three trash cans was piled neatly around the trashcans.
Same thing for the massive Glenn Beck rally that was held at the Lincoln Memorial. People left the grounds practically spotless. It was a great contrast to the Obama inauguration a few years before, that left the Mall absolutely trashed. I also recall with disgust the Democrat National Convention the first time he was nominated, the one with the Greek columns, where thousands of hand-held American flags that had been distributed to the crowd (by the Dem commies, for cover) were left trampled on the ground amid the trash, dirty diapers and soda cans .
