The Challenge | Trash Cleanup

Oceanic garbage patches are collections of marine debris that come together due to ocean currents; they have devastating effects on ocean ecosystems. Your challenge is to design a mission to help clean up garbage from the ocean!

WeClean

creating a community of beaches cleanners

WeClean

"What goes in the ocean goes into you !"

We've chosen this challenge because it has a direct impact in our earth.

Since an important part of oceanic garbage patches comes from beach, Cleaning beaches is the first step to protect ocean from trash.

We've thought about creating a community of cleaners which are going to meet in a cleaning event organized via our application "WeClean". We will provid them the localisation of trash using some tools like the imaging spectroscopy [1,2]. All participant will have a score equivalent to gifts from sponsors.

We will continue working on our project after this challenge because we believe we can create an Important impact on our environment, and it is our duty to protect our ocean.
