2 Friends, 4,700 miles, 1 mission: Pick up trash! The short film, 'Leave It Better' documents Seth Orme and Abby Taylor’s bike ride across America. Their route took them from Georgia to Washington State, including a circuit of stops at National Forests, scenic areas, campgrounds, etc., hosting trash cleanups and conservation-theme clinics as they rode.
For 5 months, their goal was to explore the country, meet people, spread the word on 'Packing It Out,' and continue their message of environmental stewardship. At each destination, whether alone or with a group, Orme and Taylor cleaned up trash, totaling more than 2,100 pounds over the course of the trip.

I turned 53 this year. When I was 12, my cousin and his wife started taking me camping in backcountry areas. We always packed out all the trash we found. I've continued that as they have. I've always taught that principle as a price of admission to those who would listen. It's wonderful to see you guys doing this. In fact, you're some of my favorite people, and we have not even met. Awesome! Thank you!

December 2021, Just saw this video this morning and I was immediately motivated to go pick up trash! Went to the closest city walking path and in less than two hours I picked up 6 shopping bags of trash and aluminum cans. Thanks for the kick in the pants enthusiasm! 🍀

We need more people like you guys. Where I live even young people are trashing the river where I go swimming in summer time. Average people really are without consciousness

Abigail and Seth - wow you are my hero’s!! Just saw your movie tonight at a bike movie festival. Made me want to go riding, and pick up trash! I came home and watched your movie again.! You’ve opened my eyes that I need to get off my butt, and just do it.

Thanks for your work. I do the same every few months with bicycle and wagon in 1/2 mile around my small neighborhood. 60 gallons (230 liters) of trash and recyclables (glass, metal, plastic) every time. I feel your laments. Could not get any of my ex's interested to help, so one more thank-you for Abby.

@arturcuryllo5832 6 лет назад

I swear to God people are pigs. Absolute pigs. There was one time I stopped at the stop light equal to a "lady" who just pulled out the last cigarette out of the pack.... we both had our windows open with beautiful spring weather outside. She lit up her cigeratte and looking to side at me threw the empty cigarette pack out her left driver window. She saw me see her do it and she still did it. No shame. ...so I got out of the car, kindly walked over to pick up the cigarette pack that she threw to the side of the road and politely handed it to her saying: "I believe you accidentally dropped this, maybe? ...she was stunned...but she didn't quite understand my point because she threw it out again as soon as I handed it to her. That was a rather sad moment for humanity.

She DID understand your point when she threw it back on the ground. She was making a point to you which you didn't get.

@artistabigailmarie 6 лет назад

should have filmed it, filmed her license plate, then turned the video in to the cops, or posted it online with all of her info or something. yeah, she can do what she wants, but she needs to know the consequences of the paths she chooses. if she was just a B*tch, or if she was just having a bad day, doesn't matter. Karma is a bigger B*tch. Even if you didn't do it, her consequences would come around eventually, even if it is her own body that breaks down from her bad life decisions.

If you think people are pigs... come to Williams Oregon where the dope growers have invaded absolutely destroying a community with their trash smell, disregard of traffic and other laws, noise, mail theft , etc., home invasion etc.. trash? trash? try 2 car doors a fender, 2 bbqs, 2 toilets, sink, 14 t ires and assorted household garbage, all dumped on my property AFTER legaization" of dope growing. People are pigs.

Awesome ! A few friends and I go hiking every weekend with garbage bags. It's heartbreaking to see the amount of trash along serene forest trails. I can't understand why people look at us like we are the crazy ones! How can you look at nature and think oh yeah, here's a good place for my trash.

wtf, I do things like this (river cleanups, beach cleanups), I share with people who have less instead of take from, I physically protect those weaker (at harm tpo myself sometimes) and I try to provide as best I can for my wife and child. BUT I've been hit by cars on my bike 5 times now. The last one broke some bones in my back, some ribs, caused internal bleeding to where they almost removed a couple organs. Oh and weeks of pain, so far, probably will be months so far. And I got fired for missing work (I called in!) the day after I got hit too. I guess there is no thing as Karma and I'm okay with that, but really, what the heck IS going on.
