This is so cool. And necessary. Can you partner with Adopt-A-Highway and other orgs that people may know about?

@ellebelle I would love to, but at this point I'm just one person so I guess I'm just not really sure where to start! I think there are a lot of local government and NGOs that I think would form great partners, but that side of the world (marketing and business relationships) is something I'm still very new to!

@ellebelle @just_be_human If I can ever help a few hours per week in a volunteer capacity, lemme know. This is badass. Good for you for doing all of this 🌳

Hey there! My name is Matt and I built this website to fit a need that I think the world desperately needs: a way to organize and mobilize people to start cleaning up after ourselves. This project is something that I built entirely myself in my spare time (I also work a 9-5 writing code for someone else) and it's just the beginning of what I want to do with the website. The site (and company) are non-profit, ad-free, and entirely donation funded, and will always be that way. The next steps are: 1. Add profiles to track people's Achievements and assign Points for cleanups completed/trash collected. 2. Add "Request a Cleanup" functionality so that you can easily mark a particularly dirty area you encounter. I hope to see you out there! You can find me walking around Denver with a bucket in one hand and a litter picker in the other. :)
