Hello OSM Community,
first the disclaimer: Yes, I’m quite new to this forum and I do not know if this is the right spot to ask this question but on the other hand I already spent some time on researching if something like what I am searching for already exists. As I cloud not find anything this forum was the first place to ask.
During my vacation I came across some really sad places where people illegally disposed waste in the nature.
I was there as a tourist while hiking and had no possibility to “clean things up”.
What I did: I made a picture of the location and the waste with GPS position.
But what to do with that?
So I had the idea:
Could there be an “openwastemap.org” or “environmentalcrimemap.org”?
Such a map would make the environmental damage caused by humanity more transparent.
It would be like a bugtracker for waste.
There could be an app that makes it easy to post the position of the disposal… and also a status change if somebody was able to clean it up. …and so on…
What do you think of that?
How would you start something like that?
Whom to ask?
BRegards,
