“Protecting the public’s health must maintain the cleanliness of our home, the Earth. We don’t need to choose one over the other – we can protect ourselves from COVID-19 while protecting the environment.

In parts of the world, the response to the pandemic, including single-use gloves, protectors and packaging, may instead be increasing the risks and impacts on our communities and citizens, especially for frontliners such as sanitation workers and fisherfolk.” You can document the type of litter you collect with a phone app called Litterati. You can also use the app to challenge your neighbors to keep your street or neighborhood clean.
