I’ve always loved doing cleanups at the beach or my local park with Clean Swell, and the new update makes it even better! The interface is really clean and easy to used and the Take Action page has great articles about plastic pollution and ways to get involved beyond cleaning up. I think it’s so cool that everything I collect can be used for scientific research to help prevent plastic pollution in the first place!

As a teacher, this app is wonderful to help students realize that small efforts combined have real impact. Students can submit data on a field trip or on a family vacation. It’s important that they understand their role in this process, this app helps students tally and sort their data collections.
Data surveying for academia and preserving ecology.
