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.
