National Science Foundation Awards Litterati Grant to Advance its AI for a Cleaner Planet
Summary
On Earth Day, 2019, the National Science Foundation has awarded Litterati a second grant in the amount of $750,000 to advance its machine learning and further its mission to create a litter-free world by using data to plot and identify litter across the planet. The Power Of Data To Impact Change Litterati empowers anyone to identify, map, and collect the worlds litter, while also connecting to a broader community of associated brands, cities, schools, and individuals. Lastly, Litterati intends to continue to expand its municipal litter fingerprints to identify other types of data that could be helpful, such as topography, population density, and socioeconomics. Some of Litterati’s power users routinely pick up one thousand pieces a day, others apply meticulous tagging to their work, while others have even built consulting practices using the data to encourage good corporate citizenship through sustainability and innovation teams inside of larger enterprises. Litteratis photographic approach to documenting litter makes it both artistic and accessible while also arming people with proof of the positive impact they are having on the planet.
