At the heart of our work is robust, community-collected data. We are proud to have the world’s first reliable and freely available app dedicated to combating environmental pollution. Through the app, anyone can become a protector of our natural green and blue spaces through logging vital data on water quality and litter collected. 

Each piece of litter collected is photographed and recorded in the app, alongside vital information such as litter type, quantity, brand and location. This helps us to identify trends and pressure points in specific locations, helping to power our campaigning for positive change.
