Anyone can download our data. When data is open, anyone can become a scientist; science is transparent, auditable and unrestricted; laws and borders are removed from legal and scientific progress. Join us and share data to protect π from permanent global pollution
Instead of turning our only habitable planet into a giant cesspool of rotting garbage, why not just protect and enjoy it? We can have an even better quality of life & stronger economy without destroying the Earth, air, soil and oceans for all future generations
Pollution costs everyone trillions
Developing open data would cost everyone about $0.00002
But crowdfunding campaign canβt even get a retweet which costs nothing
