An app to allow you to record your plastic item litter collections and have their results contribute to policy changes
The Litter Stopper phone application supports groups and individuals to collect data about litter and share it accurately and effortlessly with other interested parties to influence policy makers and ultimately protect the environment we all live in. By providing a recording method, users will develop a better understanding of the litter situation, what needs to be done and why they should care. Anyone can use it, they just need an email address to receive their data sent back to them. We know many people pick up litter and their valiant efforts go undocumented most of the time. The app now gives them the ability have it recorded and therefore to know their efforts are contributing to governments making decisions to look after our environment.
LitterStopper records up to to 28 of the common littered plastic items. Once the items have been entered, a copy of the data is emailed back to the person collecting the rubbish and a copy is stored on a common database which can be found on LitterStopper.com. The information on the database is available for all to see or download and use. A summary page on LitterStopper.com also highlights the frequency that each item is counted.
