|Return: Anti-Litter Beta Map (2012-13)|

The Anti-Litter Mapping Project is an interdisciplinary campaign and ongoing social practice art intervention and case study meant to target issues related to litter and non-sustainable habits. The project functions as a grass roots, community-based sustainability intervention, a web-based photographic mapping project, and a publicly accessible and evolving online research network. All users are invited to photograph found litter from any location (before proper disposal) and upload images to a “social” network site via a smart phone APP (currently in development) or web browser. Associated data including photographs and GPS coordinates of trash are then “pinned” on an online map.
