In the podcast she talks about an app she is launching for her own neighborhood, so residents can report litter and then anyone with the app can claim a ‘bounty’ for cleaning up that mess. They are going to be testing things in pilots for a few months and if you want to get involved, please check this website: https://www.getglitterapp.com/

I just finished participating in the Ration Challenge which means I ate the same rations as a Syrian refugee living in a camp in Jordan, based on food packs distributed by the Ration Challenge's local partner organization. By raising money, we'll help bring emergency food, hygiene kits and life-saving support to the people that need it most. It would be great if you can support me or the WALK TALK Listen team by donating by going to the Walk Talk Listen Ration Challenge page or please share the link with your network.
