Good deeds do not require long speeches and illustrations to pop up in the worldly sphere. It is the voice of conscience that usher the goodness and goodwill. And, the Good Samaritans grab the golden moments of realization to illuminate the materialistic world with the beacons of awareness. A man named Daniel Toben has come to the fore to pare the burden of the trash lacing the surroundings.

The 32-year-old environment musketeer saw the dawn of his selfless deeds breaking on the other side. He put his second job at stake to donate his precious time for his environmental concerns. The engineer finally switched the gear by swapping his second job for a full-time job of cleaning the surroundings. Unwinding his cleaning spree in North Carolina, he went ahead to explore the corners for the bits of trash and mess.

As he dived into the mess, he started discovering nature and variety of bits that humans leave behind unabashed. He started his cleaning spree in the lap of nature. He freed up the green scenes and beauty from the traces of human entertainment. His good deeds managed to evoke the conscience of other environmental musketeers. Finally, his initiative got the booster. Many helping hands entered the sphere to bolster his wit and determination.

Not just that, many social media users have pooled monetary aid for the initiative. The neglected areas have seen the rays of relief by his cleaning steps adorning their nook and corners. Moving ahead bit by bit, he has managed to create a mark in the domain. Daniel has collected at least 7400 trash bags. The donation meter has cranked up with $3000.

Shedding light on his nature-cleaning spree, he shared, “I realised I could make a huge impact, and I learned that it was pretty fun too. I got hooked when everywhere I turned on my college campus presented a new place to clean up. Now, I go searching for the most neglected areas, and I invite friends to come along. When I’m lucky they ask me to come along first”.

Adding to that, he shared, “I now treat it like a job. My friends and I have cleaned up over 400 locations. We keep safe by wearing durable rubber coated gloves, and we try to help each other. I believe that I can change the world by doing this”.

Taking on the trash’s nature, he said, “(He has found)Wallets, IDs, passports, carbon fibre bikes, safes, DJ equipment, phones, laptops, tablets, AirPods and more”.

It has represented a milieu of religions and traditions.

Taking on that, he shared, “I’ve had a clean-up where people were speaking, like, four different languages! I’ve had people join in. People have brought me wine, snacks, money, invited me to lunch, and more”.

He has decided to use the four days a week to carry on a cleaning spree around the U.S. Discussing the ill-effects of trash, he shared, “Littered aluminium cans can end up in hay bales and eaten by cows; cutting their mouths and more. Littered food brings wildlife to roadsides where they can get hit”.
