Rubbish - Love Where You Live

Fun idea but not necessarily easier for cleanup. The app does motivate me to want to clean and track the trash that’s being removed but it’s got a few issues I can’t quite figure out. For instance, I thought there would be different default categories like aluminum cans or masks. I made a category for masks but misspelt it a cant correct or remove it now. Also, I couldn’t figure out how to end a session. I had to close the app and when I came back, it let me chose to end or resume. I think it would be nice if the app automatically had more detailed choices like cigarette butts or fast food garbage (maybe the city will see that McDonald’s is not cleaning up). Outside of the critiques, it’s a motivating app and the future rewards will be a nice tough. I also hope it can get people signed up to do weekend cleanups with fellow neighbors.

Another example of millennial trash trying to capitalize on people’s incessant need to prove they’re doing good, instead of just doing good. For goodness’ sake, just pick up your trash, and stop trying to pretend you’re starting the next big revolution, or build community around things we should all be doing anyway. Ridiculous.
