In the special, each celebrity will wear their own trash suit that contains waste from their household as they go about their regular lives.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the experiment, the celebrities will aim to reduce their carbon footprint. They will also create rules for their families to live by in order to reduce their rubbish. The celebrity who reduces their carbon footprint the most will be crowned the winner.<\/p>\n<p>Richardson said: \u201cWe have reached the stage of impending climate catastrophe where a rodent-looking comedian is forced into making well-meaning celebs go and wear their trash. I believe <em>Trash Monsters<\/em> will be funny, enlightening and an incredibly vivid depiction of how easily we all accumulate vast amounts of waste.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Natalie McArdle, co-executive producer, said: &#8220;We can\u2019t wait to reveal a hidden side to our celebrities as they bravely grant us access-all-areas inside their homes and their bins\u2014and wear their waste.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Cox, co-executive producer, added: &#8220;By literally carrying the weight of their own trash, they\u2019ll hopefully question the amount of rubbish they create, in the noisiest and most revealing way possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harjeet Chhokar, commissioning editor for factual at Channel 4, added: \u201cThis is a brilliant mix of entertainment and education for a very important issue. Here we\u2019ll visibly see how much rubbish an individual can accumulate in a relatively short period of time. Plus, there\u2019s a great opportunity to delve into the \u2018trash habits\u2019 of the celebs taking part and find out what they will do to change them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel 4 has commissioned Trash Monsters, a 90-minute special that will seek to highlight important climate change issues and inspire participants and viewers to reduce their waste output.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[289],"class_list":["post-16518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-4","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Trash Monsters Special for Channel 4 - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/trash-monsters-special-for-channel-4\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Trash Monsters Special for Channel 4 - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Channel 4 has commissioned Trash Monsters, a 90-minute special that will seek to highlight important climate change issues and inspire participants and viewers to reduce their waste output.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/trash-monsters-special-for-channel-4\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-07-22T14:16:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-07-22T16:02:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Channel4-619.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"336\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/trash-monsters-special-for-channel-4\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/trash-monsters-special-for-channel-4\/\",\"name\":\"Trash Monsters Special for Channel 4 - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-07-22T14:16:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-07-22T16:02:35+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/trash-monsters-special-for-channel-4\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/trash-monsters-special-for-channel-4\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/trash-monsters-special-for-channel-4\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Trash Monsters Special for Channel 4\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
