ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jeff Kirschner - Entrepreneur
Jeff Kirschner created a global community that's eradicating litter one piece at a time.

Why you should listen

When his 4-year old daughter saw a plastic tub of cat litter in the woods, little did Jeff Kirschner realize that it would be the spark for creating Litterati -- a global movement that's "crowdsource-cleaning" the planet one piece of litter at a time. 

Featured in National Geographic, Time Magazine, Fast Company and USA Today, Litterati has become a shining example of how communities are using technology and data to solve our world's most complex problems. 

Kirschner has shared the Litterati story at Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Facebook and Uber, keynoted environmental summits at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Keep America Beautiful, as well as leading schools including Stanford, MIT and the University of Michigan. He was recently a TED Resident, where he developed Litterati into an idea worth spreading.

Jeff Kirschner: This app makes it fun to pick up litter

Jeff Kirschner: Aplikacija koja čini skupljanje otpadaka zabavnim

Filmed:
1,385,758 views

Zemlja je velika površina koju treba održavati čistom. Uz Litterati, aplikaciju čiji korisnici identificiraju, sakupljaju i geografski označavaju svjetski otpad, član programa TED Residency, Jeff Kirschner, stvorio je zajednicu koja zajedničkim naporom čisti planet. Nakon što prikupi informacije o otpadu u preko 100 zemalja, Kirschner se nada kako će iskoristiti te podatke za suradnju s brendovima i organizacijama da bi spriječili širenje smeća prije nego što ono dospije na tlo.

Priča počinje s ovo dvoje,
00:16
my kidsdjeca.

1258
mojom djecom.
00:17
We were hikingplaninarenje in the OaklandOakland woodsšume

1682
Planinarili smo šumama Oaklanda,
kada je moja kćer u potoku primjetila
plastičnu posudu s mačjim izmetom.
00:19
when my daughterkći noticedprimijetio
a plasticplastika tubkada of catmačka litterleglo in a creekpotok.

00:23
She lookedgledao at me and said,
4
11647
1662
Pogledala me i rekla:
"Tata?
00:25
"DaddyTata?
5
13333
2507
00:27
That doesn't go there."
6
15864
1650
Ovome nije tu mjesto."
00:29
When she said that,
it remindedpodsjetio me of summerljeto campkamp.
7
17538
2422
Kada je to rekla,
podsjetila me na ljetni kamp.
00:31
On the morningjutro of visitinggostujući day,
8
19984
1498
Ujutro na dan posjeta,
00:33
right before they'doni bi let our anxiouszabrinuti
parentsroditelji come barrelingbarreling throughkroz the gatesvrata,
9
21506
3663
neposredno prije nego što bi pustili
zabrinute roditelje kroz ulaz,
direktor kampa bi rekao: "Brzo!
00:37
our campkamp directordirektor would say,
10
25193
1369
Neka svatko pokupi pet otpadaka!“
00:38
"QuickBrzo! EveryoneSvi pickodabrati up
fivepet pieceskomada of litterleglo."
11
26586
2309
00:40
You get a couplepar hundredstotina kidsdjeca
eachsvaki pickingbranje up fivepet pieceskomada,
12
28919
3040
Imate nekoliko stotina djece,
svako pokupi po pet otpadaka
00:43
and prettyprilično soonuskoro, you've got
a much cleanerčistač campkamp.
13
31983
2573
i vrlo brzo imate mnogo čišći kamp.
00:46
So I thought,
14
34580
1159
Stoga sam pomislio,
00:47
why not applyprimijeniti that crowdsourcedCrowdsourced
cleanupčišćenje modelmodel to the entirečitav planetplaneta?
15
35763
4537
zašto ne primjeniti ovako nešto
kao model čišćenja cijelog planeta?
00:52
And that was the inspirationinspiracija
for LitteratiLitterati.
16
40324
2951
I to je bila inspiracija za Litterati.
00:55
The visionvizija is to createstvoriti
a litter-freesmeća worldsvijet.
17
43299
3349
Vizija je stvoriti svijet bez otpada.
00:58
Let me showpokazati you how it startedpočeo.
18
46672
1508
Pokazat ću vam kako je počelo.
01:00
I tookuzeo a pictureslika of a cigarettecigareta
usingkoristeći InstagramInstagram.
19
48204
3386
Fotografirao sam cigaretu
uz pomoć Instagrama.
01:04
Then I tookuzeo anotherjoš photofoto ...
20
52222
1867
Onda sam napravio još jednu fotku
01:06
and anotherjoš photofoto ...
21
54113
1557
i još jednu,
01:07
and anotherjoš photofoto.
22
55694
1167
i još jednu.
I primjetio sam dvije stvari:
01:08
And I noticedprimijetio two things:
23
56885
1286
01:10
one, litterleglo becamepostao artisticumjetnički
and approachablepristupačan;
24
58195
3472
prvo, otpad je postao
umjetnički i pristupačan,
01:14
and two,
25
62244
1151
i drugo, nakon nekoliko dana
01:15
at the endkraj of a fewnekoliko daysdana,
I had 50 photosfotografije on my phonetelefon
26
63419
2515
u telefonu sam imao 50 fotki,
i svaki taj otpadak sam pokupio
01:17
and I had pickedizabran up eachsvaki piecekomad,
27
65958
1587
te sam shvatio da vodim evidenciju
01:19
and I realizedshvatio that I was keepingčuvanje a recordsnimiti
28
67569
2385
01:21
of the positivepozitivan impactudar
I was havingima on the planetplaneta.
29
69978
3151
o svom pozitivnom utjecaju na planet.
01:25
That's 50 lessmanje things that you mightmoć see,
30
73153
2188
To je 50 stvari manje koje možete vidjeti,
01:27
or you mightmoć stepkorak on,
31
75365
1243
na koje možete nagaziti,
01:28
or some birdptica mightmoć eatjesti.
32
76632
1458
ili koje bi neka ptica mogla pojesti.
01:30
So I startedpočeo tellingreći people
what I was doing,
33
78769
2652
Tako sam počeo
govoriti ljudima što radim
01:33
and they startedpočeo participatingkoji sudjeluje.
34
81445
2356
i oni su se počeli uključivati.
01:36
One day,
35
84831
1693
I jednog dana
01:38
this photofoto showedpokazala up from ChinaKina.
36
86548
2528
pojavila se ova fotografija iz Kine.
01:42
And that's when I realizedshvatio
37
90039
1271
I tada sam shvatio
da je Litterati više od lijepih fotki,
01:43
that LitteratiLitterati was more
than just prettyprilično picturesSlike;
38
91334
3266
01:46
we were becomingpostaje a communityzajednica
that was collectingprikupljanje datapodaci.
39
94624
3369
da postajemo zajednica
koja prikuplja podatke.
01:50
EachSvaki photofoto tellsgovori a storypriča.
40
98869
1890
Svaka fotografija je priča za sebe.
01:53
It tellsgovori us who pickedizabran up what,
41
101279
2193
Govori nam tko je što pokupio,
01:55
a geotagGeotag tellsgovori us where
42
103496
2011
geografska oznaka govori gdje,
01:57
and a time stamppečat tellsgovori us when.
43
105531
2030
a vremenska oznaka govori kada.
02:00
So I builtizgrađen a GoogleGoogle mapkarta,
44
108006
2429
Stoga sam napravio mapu na Googleu
02:02
and startedpočeo plottingplotanje the pointsbodova
where pieceskomada were beingbiće pickedizabran up.
45
110459
4053
i počeo označavati mjesta
gdje se otpaci kupe.
02:06
And throughkroz that processpostupak,
the communityzajednica grewrastao
46
114536
3918
Kroz taj proces, zajednica je rasla
02:10
and the datapodaci grewrastao.
47
118478
1639
kao i broj podataka.
02:12
My two kidsdjeca go to schoolškola
right in that bullseyeBullseye.
48
120806
3461
Moja djeca idu u školu
baš ovdje u sredini.
02:17
LitterLeglo:
49
125125
1211
Otpad.
02:18
it's blendingmiješanje into
the backgroundpozadina of our livesživot.
50
126360
2704
Otpad se stapa s pozadinom našeg života.
No, što bi bilo da ga stavimo u prvi plan?
02:21
But what if we broughtdonio it
to the forefrontprvi plan?
51
129088
2099
Što bi bilo kada bismo shvatili
čega točno ima po našim ulicama,
02:23
What if we understoodrazumjeti exactlytočno

52

02:26

02:27
and our schoolškola yardsdvorišta?
54
135560
1538
i u školskim dvorištima?
02:29
How mightmoć we use that datapodaci
to make a differencerazlika?
55
137122
3247
Kako bismo mogli iskoristiti
ove podatke za stvaranje promjene?
Dozvolite da vam pokažem.
02:33
Well, let me showpokazati you.
56
141189
1198
Prvo s gradovima.
02:34
The first is with citiesgradovi.
57
142411
1385
02:36
SanSan FranciscoFrancisco wanted to understandrazumjeti
what percentagepostotak of litterleglo was cigarettescigareta.
58
144418
4639
San Francisco je želio otkriti
koji postotak otpada su cigarete.
02:41
Why?
59
149081
1162
Zašto?
02:42
To createstvoriti a taxporez.
60
150267
1209
Kako bi uveli porez.
Stoga su postavili
na ulice nekoliko ljudi
02:44
So they put a couplepar of people
in the streetsulice
61
152073
2135
s olovkama i blokovima,
02:46

03:03
The cityGrad calledzvao me and askedpitao

69
171454

Pozvali su me iz ureda grada i pitali
može li naša tehnologija pomoći.
03:07
I'm not sure they realizedshvatio

1249
Ne znam jesu li znali
03:08
that our technologytehnologija

03:10
(LaughterSmijeh)

Nakon četiri dana
i 5000 sakupljenih otpadaka,
03:27
our datapodaci was used in courtsud
to not only defendbraniti but doubledvostruko the taxporez,
79

Tijekom tog procesa
naučio sam dvije stvari:
03:40
Now, duringza vrijeme that processpostupak
I learnednaučeno two things:
82
208001
2235
prvo, Instagram nije pravi alat za ovo,
03:42
one, InstagramInstagram is not the right toolalat --
83
210260
2554
03:44
(LaughterSmijeh)
84
212838
1031
(Smijeh)
03:45
so we builtizgrađen an appapp.
85
213893
1503
i zato smo razvili aplikaciju.
03:47
And two, if you think about it,
86
215420
1633
I drugo, ako razmislite o tome,
03:49
everysvaki cityGrad in the worldsvijet
has a uniquejedinstvena litterleglo fingerprintotisak prsta,
87
217077

03:52
and that fingerprintotisak prsta providespruža

88
220718

a taj otisak prsta nam ukazuje
na izvor problema

i na put ka njegovom rješenju.
03:59
If you could generategenerirati a revenueprihod streampotok
90

Ako biste mogli stvoriti izvor prihoda
04:02
just by understandingrazumijevanje

91
230048
2463
samo razumijevanjem postotka cigareta,
04:04
well, what about coffeekava cupsšalice

Ako možete to obilježiti u San Franciscu,
zašto ne i u Oaklandu,

05:13
there's no better placemjesto to startpočetak
than with our kidsdjeca.

najbolje je početi od svoje djece.
05:16

123
322945
3654
I otkrili su da svatko pojedinačno

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jeff Kirschner - Entrepreneur
Jeff Kirschner created a global community that's eradicating litter one piece at a time.

Why you should listen

When his 4-year old daughter saw a plastic tub of cat litter in the woods, little did Jeff Kirschner realize that it would be the spark for creating Litterati -- a global movement that's "crowdsource-cleaning" the planet one piece of litter at a time. 

Featured in National Geographic, Time Magazine, Fast Company and USA Today, Litterati has become a shining example of how communities are using technology and data to solve our world's most complex problems. 

Kirschner has shared the Litterati story at Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Facebook and Uber, keynoted environmental summits at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Keep America Beautiful, as well as leading schools including Stanford, MIT and the University of Michigan. He was recently a TED Resident, where he developed Litterati into an idea worth spreading.
