Litterati is a community that’s “crowdsource-cleaning” the planet. We have designed a mobile application that anyone can use to photograph, identify, map, and catalog each piece of the world’s litter. From that data, we’ve built maps that target problem areas, identified the most common brands and products, created leaderboards highlighting those having the biggest impact, and connected like-minded individuals around the world.
What started with one cigarette butt, has turned into 200,000+ pieces in 104 countries and a community that's collaboratively building the Global Database of Litter.
Featured in National Geographic, Time Magazine, USA Today and hundreds of other publications, Litterati has worked with cities such as San Jose and San Francisco, collaborated with environmental organizations including NOAA, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Keep America Beautiful, and been adopted by countless schools.
