Farmer cleans villages by picking white trash

Wu Chunyang thought plastic must be bad when he found his dead pig's stomach was full of it

For the past 20 years, Wu Chunyang has collected plastic trash, picking up 100 metric tons of it from around the village he lives in.

The 68-year-old farmer, who is from Xingfu village in Yian county in northeastern China's Heilongjiang province, began the additional work because of an incident in 1999.
