How this Canadian is cleaning the country's roads, one bottle at a time
Andy Sward started the Million Bottle Pledge because the litter on the side of the road bothered him. As The Weather Network's Mia Gordon learned, he also gained some friends along the way.
Back in 2013, Vancouver resident Andy Sward decided he wanted to trek across Canada on foot, leaving as little carbon footprint as possible, but as he started his journey in Tofino, B.C., he realized this trip was going to be so much more than a low-carbon vacation.
Bothered by all the trash on the side of the road, he decided he wanted to do something about it. That's when he started the Million Bottle Pledge.
Now on his fourth trip across the country, Andy's goal is to pick up a million bottles over the next 20 or so years. He rigged up a baby jogger with bags to store his trash, and so far he has collected over 100,000 bottles.
