Enablement
Making litter cleanup rewarding, inspiring, and fun depends on an easy way for our members to track, measure, and share their progress and impact. We are currently developing a mobile-friendly web app to make that possible. We also plan to curate and create informational and educational resources relevant to our mission. Stay tuned!
