The missing piece!
Hi @PhoebsAnca, just wanted to quickly drop in and congratulate you for the Let’s Do It Romania app now on indiegogo!! Well done!
You will now be able to report illegal waste and contribute to creating an accurate mapping and planning. Currently, volunteers go through an exhausting process of individually searching for trash points: they use personal cars, bikes and a GPS to find garbage spots, write down their coordinates and details by hand then return home from their quests and introduce data into our system via computer to create a partially complete clean-up map.
Your reports will be routed to local authorities in charge with cleaning up garbage. In most cases contacting authorities is a confusing bureaucratic procedure that nobody knows how to use.
This latter is my favourite part, pinging @ericnbarrett & @Mamaduka re: our last year discussion about needing some commitment from authorities to go with any citizen mapping. This I think moves one step in that direction.
PS Anca I took the liberty to assign this post to Spot the Future Bucharest group, this way you can connect with more people in the city and they with you. See you soon <3
