1. Reducing Litter through Social Networks Pirika – Municipal/Regional Edition The World’s Largest Scale Social Network for Litter Reduction The municipal/regional edition “Pirika” is a program that enables users to record and visualize litter reduction and cleanup efforts through the social network “Pirika,” which is the world’s largest scale social network for litter reduction. Pirikahas contributed to more than 60 million items of litter in 77 countries being picked up. It vitalizes cleanup efforts within regions and contributes to awareness increase and beautification efforts. Litter Reduction – Issues and Solutions 1. Individual/ Org-Based Cleanup Pirika Promotes Municipal/Regional Litter Cleanup Efforts • Increase awareness of cleanup projects à Increases cleanup volunteers and participants • Positive feedback and appreciation from project participants and other users à Increases proportion of volunteers who continue litter cleanup To date, it has been common for cleanup efforts to be sporadic and unorganized, and consequently, it has not been for the most part possible to accurately measure the effects of cleanup efforts. With the municipal/regional edition Pirika, a social network which facilitates the visualization of the cleanup process, it is now possible for users to (i) share measured results of cleanup efforts, (ii) to participate and cleanup efforts (regardless of time and location) and (iii) (for companies and other organizations), utilize Pirika as a platform for publicizing cleanup efforts. The foregoing qualities of Pirika support and promote cleanup efforts within municipalities. Additionally, by analyzing the type/volume of litter by region and season, Pirika contributes to effective cleanup and beautification projects. Pirika Mechanics and Special Qualities 2.
