Yes, You Can Make a Difference!
We all know we’ve got a huge problem with plastic waste.
According to National Geographic, only 9% of all the plastic EVER produced has been actually recycled, with the remaining 81% ending up in landfills, in the oceans, and in the environment.
What can you do?
Everyone can reduce the amount of plastic they use. But now you can also use your mobile to help!
Act Now is a social media app for mobile phones. It’s similar to Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. But the Act Now app identifies where the biggest plastic problems lie and which brands produced it.
Here’s how it works. You take a photo of plastic litter where you are, and add it to the Act Now timeline. Other members can comment, support and share content across other social media sites to embarrass/tag the brands.

Why would you do this?
Right now, there is no accurate data that identifies the most polluted areas or the most polluting brands. Act Now want to change this, by creating a map of the worst affected areas worldwide.
The data can then be used by environmental organisations and other pressure groups, to force changes on companies and governments to change how plastic is disposed, manufactured and used.
Individuals
We know that major change requires governments and laws, as well as big businesses. That can make us, as individuals, feel powerless.
Act Now gives you the opportunity to take part in the fight against plastic pollution. Simply taking a photo during your day-to-day life contributes to the battle to clear our planet of plastic waste.
