Inspiration
We were inspired by work of the the Green Squad( ഹരിത കർമ്മ സേന) of Kerala. We want to do more for the people active in the environment conservation field, making their work easier by providing simple interfaces for collecting and accessing data.
What it does
- Report trash dumping anonymously in an area by providing evidence
- Request government and other organisations to collect trash from these areas
- Generate heat maps for areas with high waste dumping
- Interface for officials and individuals to access the data
- Conduct drives to clean hotspots and establish and proper waste management and collection system in these areas
- Gather and organise cleaning drives with like minded people and organisations
- Incorporates a reward system for valid reports to encourage reporting
How we plan to build it
We plan to use React.js for the user facing part and Node.js for the backend REST API. We will also be using SQLite3 for it’s simplicity and reliability
Other technologies include Express.js for spinning up the server, Git and Github for collaboration among the team and Github pages to host the initial prototype
What's next for Waste-Reporter
We want to make India a cleaner place to live in and cooperation between people is vital towards this goal. Waste-Reporter will bring together individuals and groups who want to work for the collective good of the society and gives them a great platform to do so
