The "seekers" will earn points by taking photos of where there are a lot of cigarettes - for people who don't want to collect them directly. We will recycle these cigarettes into everyday items - pens etc. And sell them to average people for an inflated price as "bio" products. The "collectors" and "seekers" can buy these products with the points earned or they can withdrawl money from the service after they reach a certain point. We will be making cigarette urns and put them in the places were the seekers spotted a great amount of contamination.

Steps

Steps wrote: Steps is an application with a social and economic impact that motivates people to walk and use alternative transport. Our mission is to create a huge community of “steppers” to reduce significantly the impact of co2 emissions caused by individual cars. We would do this by giving our users rewards based on the amount of walked steps or on kilometers traveled in sustainable transport that they do. Those rewards would come from our partners, that will be sustainable local commerces, and we aim to promote them through our application... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
