  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.
