With the launch of the Trash Hunters App, the campaign against litter has entered a new phase. Trash Hunters can from now on specify with a photo what brand of drinks package was left on the ground. The photo will be uploaded and automatically counted. You can meet challenges and earn points.
The App was developed thanks to support from Microsoft. Hans Bos, Microsoft’s National Technology Officer, highlighted the importance of crowdsourcing, the collection of data by many people, and gaming, which can make participation more interesting. All the data will be stored in the Microsoft Azure-cloud. This will also provide additional possibilities, such as automatic pattern recognition. It should be possible, for instance, to forecast in the near future where and when bottle and cans will be littered most.
The Plastic Soup Foundation thanks Microsoft for their tremendous support.
Download the App here via Google Play or Windows Phone Store (App Store is expected soon).
